It’s been a while

I see that the last post I had was back in July, almost 3.5 months ago.  It’s not that nothing’s been going on, or that I’ve been too busy to post, I just haven’t felt like it.  Although, there were a couple times I tried to post from work and got an error, so I gave up.  But I’m back now.

The MacBook is working well for me.  I did drop it on the concrete floor one evening while it was running, but nothing was damaged.  I’m more careful now.

We moved at the end of July to a new loft in a new(er) building.  Our old loft was in a 100+ year old building.  Our new loft is in a 50+ year old building.  It’s a smaller space, but the layout is very efficient, and we like it.

Work is work.  Nothing new there.

We’re now down to two cats.  We had to have Lorenzo put down at the end of July.  His ear cancer had come back, and his kidneys were failing.  The best thing for him was to humanely have him euthanized.  It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do, but it was the right thing to do.  Lance & Arianna have adapted to his loss fairly well, but I can tell they miss him.

I got an iPhone recently.  It’s great, as I expected.  I’ve downloaded lots of free apps for it.  I’m afraid of downloading non-free apps because I don’t want to run up a huge iTunes bill.

We went to the NYC area for a week from the 18th through the 25th.  I’ll go into detail in another post.

It’s a Black thing, you wouldn’t understand.

100000 miles

2001 VW New Beetle 1.8T odometer at 100k When Cynthia and I got in the car after dinner tonight, I noticed that the odometer read 99982. We were 18 miles shy of 100k. Since we had a couple errands to run, we decided to drive around until it rolled over. First we went to Radio Shack to pick up a battery for a bike computer. Next we headed to AutoZone for bulbs for a headlight and a fog light. Both the left fog light and right low beam/daytime running light bulbs are burned out. There’s an AutoZone fairly close to home, but we decided to go to one farther from home in hopes that we’d get closer to 100k.

As we drove into Downtown, we were still a few miles short. So we headed down through the Cedars area, looking at the loft buildings there. As we were heading back into Downtown, it turned over 100k miles. So I stopped and took a picture.

Here’s hoping it goes another 100k miles before it needs replacing.
