On Holiday

Dearest Readers:

I sit now at a small table on the top floor of a hotel overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  The sun is about to set and, from the veranda, I can hear the foghorn.  

I customarily live in a PC world but write this from a MacBook Pro laptop -- one my wife purchased for me earlier this year.  I'm still not facile, in any way, on this thing because I use it so rarely at this point.  I have a PC at work and at home; the MacBook has been reserved for trips and so-called special occasions.  My wife "inherited" my 17" HP Pavilion zd8000 laptop; I now have the MacBook for my portable needs.  I can still barely make it work.  I'm suspecting I'll have to take some classes at my local Apple Store.  I purchased the "Teach Yourself Visually MacBook" book, the "Rough Guide to Macs & 10.5 Leopard."  It still hasn't sunk in.  Yes, I really am that thick.

In any event, my point: I'm away from easy posting but I've backed up a number of drafts so that I am "not gone," so to speak.  I did this in case I couldn't figure out how to post new photographs.  But that is immaterial because, in my rush to pack, I only included my smallest camera -- you know, the one with the DEAD BATTERIES.

I am literally on holiday from Thursday, May 21st to Wednesday, May 27th.

And May 27th is the day my father's house is turned over to its new owners.

But that's another topic entirely.

A topic I'm seeking to escape for a few days.
