It’s been an eventful week. Easter, family reunion, Opening Day baseball, condo maintenance, the list goes on. Lots to blog about. But the laptop battery is running on empty, and I can’t recharge it. The power adaptor had a close encounter with a dangerous electric outlet over the weekend. Aluminum wiring in the wall! My brother the electrician is on the way. A new adaptor is on order from Apple.

On the other hand, I’ve entered the tablet era. A previously ordered iPad Mini arrived. I downloaded apps last night until I went cross-eyed. The iPad is great. I’ve downloaded the WordPress app, but I’m not ready to write long blog posts on the iPad, or edit photos, just yet.

For a few days, I might be more on Twitter than on WordPress. You can follow me @BJohnHayden.
