New Laptop

Well, I bit the bullet and picked up a new laptop yesterday. I just wasn’t comfortable with my old one. I have this one figured out and on the wireless already. Piece ‘o cake! I’m going to have to get used to a new OS but that’s okay…it keeps my old brain from stagnating. I’ve been working on all these techie things and have so far managed to get them all working.

The wireless connection is ticking away, the iPhone works on the wireless and the Bluetooth, the new laptop works on the wireless and I’m getting the hang of the new OS…but have a ways to go on that yet. I’m done doing techie things for a while. But I think I’ve staved off Alzheimer’s for a good long while…I should have chalked up lots of points against that in the past two weeks!

Monday is Odd Shots day.

Cheek to Cheek.

I wasn’t sure who was watching who when we visited the Omaha Zoo a couple years ago. He was in an outdoor enclosure and was looking at me thru a porthole-like window, while I was “caged” in a building. I think that was the idea of the zoo…the animals are outside and the people look at them from inside. There was just something sad in this guy’s eyes…he was dreaming of being wild and free, I’ll bet.

  2. AH he is so lovable looking, and yet so sad, I have never enjoyed the zoo's as it reminds me of an institution were one can't get out.Have you ever noticed how the animals never look that happy being caged up. There is no spark in there eyes.

  4. You are miles ahead of me on the techie front. Hope you enjoy your new laptop.

    The look in these eyes is very contemplative - so much expression you've captured.

  5. Pensive, that's a good word for it. I think he'd like to sit down and talk to you about the state of the world.
