for two weeks now, a space on my keyboard has come to pass between my S and caps lock keys. where has my dear letter A gone, you ask? to computer-heaven, where all broken parts rest. the first to go, it was such a tragic ending at such a young age. you never realize how important A letter it is -- the first in the alphabet, one of the select five vowels -- until it is gone. so appreciate the A on your keyboard while it still exists and let us have a moment of silence for my poor, poor deceased letter A.
