The power supply on my Mac has bee acting flaky for weeks. Last night it finally died the true death, so I have to take it to the Apple Store to get it swapped out.
So there are three special prizes in my CrackerJack box:
- No Mac
- Windows instead
- A delay in the judging of The Odysseus Medal competition
I’m guessing that enough people will be in the thrall of the Super Bowl that I won’t be missed. (For my own part, I think football could only be improved if the games were played in national forests. With Redfin agents as the referees.)
In any case, like the Phoenix herself, I’ll be back to normal shortly.
Amending this: Monday afternoon, he sobbed. I’ll do the Odysseus Medal tomorrow night, using Noon today as the cut-off for this week’s nominees. My apologies. In the mean time, it’s like I’m in Vegas — limited connectivity — but without the views or the liquour.

The world doesn’t end when your laptop screws up! If it wasn’t for class and the novel I am writing, I’d be more than happy to throw my computer out the window.
The hurricane season are some of the most productive days ever. No computer, no TV, no radios and not much of nothing but house work and stuff that really matters!
As for the Super Bowl, just because you don’t like it and find it meaningless gives you no right to slam it.

PS: You should have stocked up on the devil water Saturday night!
PPS: I’m not feeling sorry for you! No excuses!
