'Day 3083: Back, just barely.

  

   

“16-19” : collage & digital collage.




 
 
 


Back posting, but just barely. 


The paragraphs below were written early last week on my iPad-Pro, which taunts me with my lack of operating skills. When I was ready to post, it disappeared even though I had been saving as I went. The resulting language was the repetition of one 4 letter word that starts with s, not f. Today I opened the lists of posts, and there it was saved and ready to go. So I am sending it a week later.

My new laptop should be in today, so I hope to be all hooked up and ready to post by Wednesday/Thursday. Patience is tough.

“My significant other, my Mac Pro got fried by limeade. Truthfully, my big fat elbow knocked the glass over and onto the helpless keyboard, and wham-o, toasted! 1T of data was recovered.”

GH#1 worked on my disable phone and iPad and got them up and going. I am typing this on my iPad Pro, but am inadequate at maneuvering a stylus and keyboard. This simple paragraph has been a long production.

I am not going to be as picky about the looks of this post, since I am just barely in control. The smiles, I just blindly picked and if they came through they stayed. I am not sure about including the music, videos, or just because since my access and skills are so limited.

I will be buying a new laptop, but I have to get a “sled” to transfer the 1T of date to a new machine. If that sounds like I know what I am doing, I don’t. Meanwhile, I will try to get an assemblage of a blog and maybe learn my way around this sweet little iPad better?



Bare bones blog: in Japanese there is a word, kaizen, used often in business as continual improved effort. I will try harder tomorrow.

Day 2: Today should be easier ...


Today should be easier, but it is definitely harder. 
I now know how much I didn't know yesterday.
First of all, "kaizen" needs clarity. 
I learned it to mean to try a little harder each day. 
I have used the term with my students in the past. 
I like it because it is doable. And so, I will try to do a little better
each day as I bumble through blog-land.

I am told I need a tag or a label so you will know 
what this blog is about, so here's my plan.


Today I went to my eldest grandson's freshman basketball tournament. As we sat in the bleachers before the game, I gazed down at his amazing tennis shoes.  I whipped out the i-phone and took a couple of Instagrams so you could see.



These are size 13-1/2 and he is 14 years young.  How amazing to have your shoe size and age almost the same. Then I began to smile. Imagine if my shoe size matched my age. I like to smile.
