Rae goes back to school tomorrow. I’m picking up a new project at work. A friend has COVID. All of these seem like normal occurrences. The last one shouldn’t be.
Family friend Diane Kelly made the news on Tuesday for her part in a study of a dinosaur cloaca (look it up). Read all about it at the New York Times or Gizmodo.
The MacBook Pro is off to an Apple repair center. It’ll take 5-10 days to repair. I ordered a new MacBook Pro (a 2020 model with the new keyboard) from the parking lot of the repair shop and picked it up on the way home. I’ll decide what to do with the old MacBook Pro when I get it back.
The return key on my MacBook Pro is broken. It still works if I press hard on it but it has no travel. I have a service appointment tomorrow for it. Fortunately it’s covered by Apple. Unfortunately the reason it’s covered by Apple is because from 2015 to 2019 Apple keyboards were problematic. I thought I avoided this when I bought this laptop in late 2020 but apparently not. It’s a 2019 model.
Depending on what the repair shop tells me I may be tempted to buy a 2020 MacBook Air for my primary computer and repurpose this machine. We shall see.
Sports continue to hardly show up on my radar. I checked on college and NFL football results a couple of days after the games and look at UK men’s basketball results about once a week. I can’t name a single player on the team. I don’t miss it.
Mahali said to the Lord: “Sir, what is the reason, what is the cause of doing, of committing an evil deed?”
“Greed, hatred, delusion, not paying proper attention and wrongly directed thoughts — these are the reasons, these are the causes of doing, of committing an evil deed.”
“Then what, sir, is the reason, what is the cause of doing, of committing a beautiful deed? ”
“Generosity, love, wisdom, paying attention and rightly directed thought — these are the reasons, these are the causes of doing, of committing a beautiful deed ”
