They're coming...

Blog posts.... Lots and lots of them.
To make up for my failure to post regularly these last few weeks. That's what you get for jetting all around the world: Christmas in Cali; a flying visit to England; return to Wisconsin.
The holiday period is a time to spend with family, and that's just what I did. Observations and comments from the festivities? Naturally. They are all on the way.
Along with a number of other posts, on a wide variety of random thoughts, as ever.
First things first though. Sorting out the technology that clutters my life (yet without which I would be lost- well, ok. Not quite. A little exaggeration. Though I wonder if I could ever give up my laptop and ipod. Phone-yes, absolutely. The others I don't know).
I don't mean charging phone, camera batteries etc. That's easy, something I am doing now. (That's right, a man multitasking!) No, I refer instead to my harddrive, which has decided, as technology annoyingly does, to stop working correctly. Problem- unidentifiable, as always. Solution? Smash it in? Unfortunately not- it's home to all my beloved music. Instead, it's a quick operation to try and save it, and then a replacement I think. Farewell pay check. (or about $80 of it).
On a lighter note, also regarding technology, we need to purchase a TV for our apartment, courtesy of the money we received for Christmas/Hanukkah. Yay free cable! But, like a lot of things in life, this isn't a pain and hassle free choice. Not only do we have to decide what size, and whether we want a dvd player, we also have to figure out what type of screen we want, how we can connect our laptops, and all those shenanigans.
I love that word. Shenanigans.
Well, as my Mum would say: Get on with it then!
