Holy Cow and Today

We are in self isolation because of the covid19 virus. We don’t know if we have it. I don’t think that we do, but who knows. We both feel fine, so I guess that’s all that matters. In addition to the pandemic we had civil unrest in Rochester because of an act that happened in Minneapolis. Such craziness. In addition to all of the outside foolishness, I have been engaging in my ongoing feud with my computers, PC and Mac. The PC shuts itself down shortly after I turn it on, at least once and then maybe sometime while I am using it to scan slides or just anything. Very annoying. The Mac wouldn’t let me update because I didn’t have enough space on my disk. My flash drive has only 128GB, but I have a 2TB external drive attached. I finally deleted enough stuff to allow the update to take place. I’m really getting tired of being tired of figuring out all of these things necessary to do simple tasks on a computer. Maybe I’ll go back to the olden days where you wrote things on a piece of paper or a notebook. It worked to hundreds of years after all.

Dulcimer lessons have been discontinued because both of our instructors have retired. I may take fiddle lessons in the Fall, but I’m not even sure at this point what form they will take. I do like my instructor, but I can’t say that I am as enthusiastic as I want to be about learning the fiddle. I am no spring chick, so I have a lot to learn in a short time.

I notice, once again, that I do not attend to my blog on a regular basis. 2018 was the last time I wrote anything. That’s too bad, because there are things happening that I should record, but Imjust forget to do it. I really need to get myself some kind of a reminder system. I should also read what I have written in the past. It might be interesting to find out what I have been up to.
