Today’s Frazz comic by Jef Mallett leaves with something to think about.  Turns out the crust really does matter but it’s also something often taken for granted (and perhaps why it’s the one thing left to mess around with at pizza places).  Sturdy but not too doughy, easy to hold, just crisp enough.  On some level, everything else depends on it.  And that’s the crust of the matter.

On a similar note, I spent most of Friday evening updating the operating systems on my digital devices.  Not too tricky with the laptop, but always a questionable with when it involves a major upgrade to my very simple phone.  And wouldn’t you know it: I had to reboot with a factory reset and then connect with a recent back-up.  There was one touch-and-go moment where I thought I’d lost it, but in the end it was okay.

Operating systems are like pizza crust, really.  Everything depends on them: what your device can do, what can be done to your device.  It’s something easily taken for granted.  But it’s also something I’ve tried to keep up with for devices.  I’d like to think I keep up with similar things in the rest of life, but that can be a little more difficult to judge.

But the conversation between Frazz and Caulfield was spot-on.  Maybe the toppings don’t matter as much as long as the crust is what it needs to be.
