After a rousing five hours of Ultima IX, I turned my attention to work. I have a tendency to code at the strangest hours. I fired up emacs and whacked some Java into it.

My girlfriend walks over sleepily, rubs her eyes, and yawns. I scratch her back for her, since she likes that. Her contacts are in the bathroom, so she leans very close to the screen to see what I'm doing at this hour of the morning.

Suddenly a jolt of recognition shoots through her.

"Hey! That looks like C!"

I was very happy. I gave her a hug and a kiss. Then she was happy. And I was thankful too.
