So…I woke up this morn­ing, and took some­thing out to the car. On a whim, I cir­cled the car one more time…you know, since it was day­light and all…and what do you know. There was a Nexus 7 tablet.

I’d like to think that the would-be thief suf­fered a round of guilt and brought the Nexus 7 back to its right­ful owner (oddly leav­ing it face down on in some leaves on the side­walk next to my car); but some­thing tells me that’s not what hap­pened. Now, my feel­ings move from vic­tim­iza­tion to embar­rass­ment. I appre­ci­ate those who expressed con­cern last night, espe­cially my son who searched the car for me and gave me a cou­ple of hugs. Thanks, in advance, to all of you for not rid­ing me too hard about this [hon­est] mis­take. At least I have the Nexus 7 in hand. If noth­ing else, I went through a lit­tle fire drill chang­ing all of my pass­words and updat­ing my online secu­rity settings.

Please excuse me while I go make some toast to go with that egg.
