Why No Blogging?
Last Monday, as I was taking a pre-speech bathroom break, a clumsy waiter spilled a glass of wine on my laptop. I came back to discover that my computer wouldn't turn on, depriving me and my audience of my PowerPoint illustrations. (Fortunately, I know the speech really well, and you can do a lot with words and gestures.) The computer came on later that night, running off the AC adaptor but not the battery--a real pain when you're traveling, but not an insurmountable problem. Then Wednesday night it died. Completely. Apparently, over the intervening nine days, the wine-induced corrosive cancer had spread. Now I have no computer, except when I borrow Steve's. Hence, minimal blogging. I hope to return to action next week.
