My wife’s favorite fruit is melon. Last year, I had a friend ship a couple of very expensive melons all the way from Japan. One melon cost me some 50 bucks. When I opened a package, they were both half bad. These melons were for my beloved wife’s birthday. I didn’t have time to order new ones. So I did what I had to do, you know? I got on my iMac, launching Adobe Photoshop. In a matter of 4 minutes or so, I designed a melon for my wife.

Hmm… I think it was about 2 years ago from yesterday. I went hiking with my neighbor Jim Glassley. One of Jim’s interests is observing wild flowers. Whenever he found a rare wild flower, he stopped and took a note. Then something terrible happened around noon. Somebody just shouted “Bear!” In the next minute, a bear was chasing Jim. I didn’t know what to do at first. But I had an idea. You know? I pulled MacBook out of my backpack. In 3 minutes or less, I designed a big net enough to cover the bear. I just threw the net towards the bear. And I caught him. I can proudly say that Jim is alive today because of my heroic act. If I had not acted quickly and wisely, the bear might have clawed him in the back.

The other day, I went fishing with my neighbor Jim Glassley. I really hoped that I could catch a big fish because I wanted to make fresh sushi for my wife. She loves raw fish. And I did catch a big fish, a 2-foot-long tuna. But I was afraid that the tuna would go bad by the time I got home. What could I do… Right! I didn’t forget to bring my MacBook with me. So I started it up and launched Adobe Photoshop. In a matter of just 3 minutes or so, I deep-froze the tuna.
