Well, the old year has passed and the new one is under way. It seems to me that time flies faster and faster. I haven't posted in nearly a month but I have an excuse, aside from the excitement and travel of the holiday season. My old Mac laptop died....well, suffered a debilitating blow anyway. It was going to cost nearly as much to fix it, with no guarantees of how long it would last, than it would to buy a new one. So, with a bit of trepidation and excitement, I ordered a new laptop. It arrived last Monday and I rushed it in to the repair shop where the old laptop sat waiting to transfer all my goodies, pictures, bookmarks, and such. Luckily the damage was not enough that my files couldn't be retrieved. Everything important to me now resides in the new computer, which is somehow comforting. Getting a new laptop is kind of a giddy experience, kind of like getting a new car or something. It's familiar on one level and not on another. It took some time to get things set up and downloaded and whatnot. But I am starting to feel comfortable with it and I think we're going to do just fine together. Passing from the old laptop to the new one is a bit like passing from the old year to the new. It's a little sad to leave one behind yet exciting to start in on a new one. May your new year be filled with love and laughter.
