Tumbled Words

How many times have we heard that question - or asked it of someone else? This time I’m asking myself. Rather than just go buy a firewire cable to transfer things to my new laptop, I tried doing it the hard way, the less efficient way, the way I didn’t understand — all of those — and a few easy ways, too. Of course, I did this over the course of days

I managed to get Leon’s 40 plus work photo files to his laptop quickly and easily using my .mac email! I used flash drives to transfer my documents and .mac sync to transfer mail folders, address book, etc. No brainers. But for our downloaded software and thousands of personal photos since I don’t have a flash drive big enough to handle them with ease, well, Leon is buying a new firewire cable, right now.

That didn’t work. Office Depot does not carry 6 pin to 6 pin. Guess we will have to find somewhere else to buy one. If only I had gotten one last weekend, imagine how much work otherwise I could have gotten done.

This would have been done last week had I just bought the cable. Lesson learned? Not necessarily, history likes to repeat itself, right?

I did not rewrite a peace post this year because I still believe in the words I wrote here last year. Click on the globe if you are a new reader, please.

Mimi’s most recent post summarizing all her research this past month on wars is found here: Dona Nobis Pacem ~ A Revolution of Words.

Many links for other writers on peace are found there. Perhaps reading some of them will take your thoughts on peace in a different direction, one of can do, rather than frustration and hopeless? It is hard, it is going to be hard, but one step at a time will make a difference to someone. It has to.

Barbara’s challenge kept me from getting all melancholy with 3WW today, though I might not have anyway, since the words made me think of Leon - and you all know I adore him - even though typical of humans he can be a real pain in the neck… and neck was one of the three words, grin.

So, my short positive number three is posted here, Him, A Partial Reveal, along with a photo of Leon that I love though he appears a bit pensive, a side of him I know quite well - a good balance to his wacky or staid Brit side!

Laugh at something today!
