crime – A Song Diary

For those of you who were worried about me not having posted over the last couple of days, you will be glad to hear that I am still alive. And many thanks for the concern. For those of you who didn’t even notice my absence, thanks. For nothing.

I was a victim of crime. Albeit only a minor victim as there was no bodily harm or extensive damage to my psyche. Some despicable degenerate of society broke into my car whilst I was having lunch with a few colleagues on a business trip. Him/her/they/it stole my laptop bag which coincidentally, also contained a laptop and some headphones. Oh, and my passport. This implied a limited exposure to blogging over the weekend and a restriction on my travelling.

Any traveling businessman will tell you how important a laptop is. That piece of electronic equipment is a life-saver, a companion, a good listener. It’s like I have a second wife keeping me company during long flights and lonely hours.

I’m fine and will survive another day as soon as I have completed the five stages of grief, with the help of my counsillor, Mr Jack Daniels. Somewhere out there is an idiot with no regards for another person’s personal stuff.
