Brothers.

In my sadness after Diane’s death, I wandered the web and picked up a something nasty on my computer. I thought I had saved everything, but I hadn’t before I turned it over to G. 2016 Comic Con is gone. I can recreate grandchildren pictures, I can with great frustration reenter passwords and usernames, but I cannot recreate the last Comic Con Photos.

The computer would not restore, but it would create a mirror image of itself in 2015. If I remember, 2015 was a good year. So now, thanks again to G’s help, the last of my programs is working again…Word has been reactivated. He talked to India….thanks G, and this antique should run fine if I don’t wander the web wildly.

The best wandering I did this week was to make my way to the pool now two days in a row. Warm water. Walking. Aerobics, friends, and sunshine. Of course I don’t leap out of bed and enthusiastically run to the pool. There’s great joy when I get there wearing my giant plastic arm cover all wrapped in rubber bands and bob around looking foolish for an hour.

Yin and Yang indeed.


  • Himself: Doing the work of three today. He is feeling vastly better at last.
  • Herself: Finally well enough to make two of my follow-up appointments. PT and ENT on the 11th. Follow up hands on the 7th. Dentist next week. Did someone say staycation?
  • Reading: Cadel.
  • Gratitude’s: That most of me feels pretty darned good.

The last time I leapt out of bed and enthusiastically ran to the pool was 1975.

So sorry you lost your photos. Dangerous, our using these old computers. Mine is too old to update the browser and can no longer be used for e-mail, ancestry.com, ordering things or most of internet. BUT, it's the last computer that will run the last scanner that scanns negatives. I still have hundreds, maybe thousands of old (there's that word again) negatives to scan. Thank TPTB for multiple magnification devices. Blessed Be

I think it is amazing you can get yourself into a pool in the morning...seriously heroic stuff.

I couldn't leap out of bed no matter how enthusiastic I felt. Fortunately, that's not an issue, as I rarely feel that enthusiastic about getting out of bed anyway.
