It’s been about two weeks since I’ve posted. I haven’t forgotten or not wanted to, but because my computer battery was about to crash I had to get a new computer(no, it was simply enough to replace the battery). The Apple store in the mall had just opened, so over I went. Parking was easy, I was checked for wearing a mask before entering the Neiman Marcus entrance, walked through and didn’t buy anything--never do--and went right up to have my temperature taken before entering the Apple store. I bought another MacBook Air, and was on my way home.
Easy to transfer everything, or so I was told! I agree, if you know what you’re doing. I don’t! But my son-and-law does, so for almost two hours he talked me through it via the phone. (Very grateful to Tony.) Sadly, that’s not the end of it. I am now learning to navigate a new word processing program, and thus one reason for my delay.
What does this have to do with silence, solitude, and simplicity? Not much, at least not directly. But dealing with such things is part of my life, which is worldly, social, and public, as well as silent, solitary, and simple. A working computer is part of keeping this balance.
