bktheirregularNot my first post, of course, but the first post from the new laptop. Friends list, meet Joshua. Joshua, friends list.
(The idea came from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
neonhummingbird's dad, a man apparently quite secure in the knowledge of where his towel is. I am in envy of father and daughter alike.)
Joshua runs Vista, which I'm still getting a feel for. It's a pain in the neck that so many things a modern operating system takes for granted require a solid internet connection, which means I hardly dared turn on Microsoft Office until I was at Starbucks. *sigh* What a way to run a railroad. At any rate, Joshua seems a solid performer, and a worthy successor to Cortana. Plus, when I push the power button, I don't have to wonder how many times I'll have to repeat the procedure before the laptop powers up. And I don't have to worry about which bits of hardware have gone off line and which are working.
Monday, I'm supposed to get my phone line in. (Like so many other things, I'll believe it when I see it. I suspect that a firm belief in Murphy's Law is, among other things, the hallmark of a good lawyer.)
My mother arrived in Athens yesterday, and reports that my grandmother is improved, though they don't know when they'll be comfortable releasing her from the hospital. Still, heartening news.
