blast from the past

And what is “the light” about an elderly Sony cd burner? Well:

1. 1. 1.  I needed to read a CD.
      2. Of course, my MacBook can not read CDs. It is way too cool for that.
      3.  I remembered that long ago before I moved here I had a CD burner.
      4. Did I bring it? If so why? And where is it? If I even brought it.
      5. It was in the 3rd place I looked.
      6. All of the cables were with it.
      7. I plugged it into the wall and the Mac.
      8. Pushed the button to open the door. Popped in the CD.
      9. Lights flashed. Whirly sounds happened. AND
      10. The Mac recognized the drive and cheerfully displayed contents.
      11. Thank you, Apple. It just worked. Definitely “the light”

You might notice that the CD Burner is dusty. So what? I am a bit dusty too. Or is it rusty?

Grateful for an excellent dinner. Courtesy of me, with an assist from Dining Services. Steak and eggs. With avocado and salsa.

Spent most of the day editing 27 minutes of talking-head video down to 7 minutes. It’s hard. And I want it to be professional. Nevermind that I didn’t start doing this until I was between 75 and dead. I have standards.
