I’ll likely purchase a MacBook Air when I retire. I have the 11 inch now but it’s no longer available. I’ll have to look at the 13 inch version.

I have an iCloud account but use DropBox more. I like having access to things where ever I am…

Took your advice! I use an independent Apple dealer which also has a superb repair facility (they do the repairs for three different traditional Apple stores).

Traded the iPad on an Early 2015 11″ MacBook Air; purchased a clear plastic shell case and the extended warranty. Spent about C$1100.00 keeping in mind this particular unit is now a year old in terms of production date, no matter.
Like you find it far preferable to an iPad.
The much heavier MacBook Pro is on my upstairs office desk; the two iMacs and their calibrated screens live in my basement photograph editing area.
And never shall they meet; I don’t use iCloud.

Yes sir — much better!

Sorry to hear of the onset of your illness. Hope it fades quickly.

I’m much better. Cold did build into a bad sinus infection requiring antibiotics and steroids but I feel way better. Drinking lots of water. Resting. And no riding. Until tomorrow. Maybe…

In lieu of a vaporizer I spent a lot of time standing over the bathroom sink applying steaming hot compresses over my nose and face allowing the heat to ease the pain in my face and the steam from the cloth to enter my sinuses. Amazing how good that feels…

I drink a lot of water but it didn’t seem to do much this time. And what used to take a couple days to clear now lasts a lot longer…

Almost back to normal. Almost. Whatever normal is…

Thank you for the prayer Karl. I appreciate it.

Like you, I try to nip the cold in the bud but I’ve not had much luck with that during the past couple years. Rest works best but I resist until I drop. Go figure.

Just so you know Paul — I thought about the midnight ride but didn’t take it. Stayed in bed. If I have any clarity at all it revolved around the knowledge that I was feeling really sick.

Things have passed and I’m feeling better. If it holds through the night I’ll see you at Saint’s in the morning.

Chicken soup really helps. Didn’t have the energy to make homemade. So I lived on Wolfgang Puck’s Organic Free range chicken soup…

I have the smallest MacBook Air made. Tiny, light and more that adequate to do everything I need. I do have an iMac at home for processing images in Lightroom, sending files to my printer, and editing video. But I love the Air…

Mind over matter… for the first time I can remember, I’ve listened to my body and took at easy. Didn’t rush off doing what I wanted. I’m pretty good at making bad decisions about riding despite how careful I tend to be on the road. Sort of like me thinking I was going to ride the Vespa to the ER the night I had the heart attack…

My colleagues at work didn’t see me for nine days. Slept most of that time. I’m grown up now and it’s the right thing to do.

I have a wireless keepboard that I use sometimes to write digitally but don’t want to drag the laptop along. It connects to the iPhone and I can pound out text in a Google doc with ease. And since I don’t often read or look at the screen while typing it’s almost perfect. Looks weird, but very light. Maybe you need a keyboard with your iPad.
