How has it been nearly a year since I've last written anything? So much has happened in so little time.
We're finally coming out of the pandemic, and yet, there is so much in flux for so many people. One can either choose to be part of the chaos, or you can choose to live you best life. Mine has been all over the place in 62 years and while I'm critiquing my own life, I choose to let others do their own.
Last time I wrote was about upgrading a computer. I find it poetic as I tried two or three laptops and nothing seemed to work. Instead, I got a new Dell All-in-One last night at Costco.
My old Samsung laptop has served me well for the past 10 years. Yep, 10 years! It's an Intel CoreI7, one of the earlier versions, and has done well except for the past few months. The "blue screen of death" has been my constant companion and yesterday I just had enough. Mackie suggested we head to Costco in East Lansing and pick something out.
Round and round we go again. I'm really not seeing anything that floats my goat. It's a different time in life where I don't need to carry a laptop any longer. After an hour or so, Mackie found the all-in-ones and asked me, "what about this"? A clean Dell 11th Generation Core i7 with tons of memory, two hard drives, a 27 inch monitor, and an nVidia graphics card. The heavens opened up and it was in the cart. 1 1/2 days in, and I couldn't be happier.
