You may have noticed that I haven’t posted much in the last week. Part of that is because of health issues and part is because of technology issues. Okay, MOST of it is technology issues. Last Wednesday morning, my laptop wouldn’t boot. I blogged about this last week, but I’m just today getting a new hard drive. What a long weekend to NOT have my laptop. And, no, I still haven’t gotten it to boot off a boot disk or anything, so it looks like I’ll lose anything that I hadn’t backed up already. >:o

But at least I’ll have a new hard drive after today. And at no additional cost to me. I guess that part’s okay. Could have been much worse. And after I get everything restored, which will take a day or two, I’ll be more easily able to maintain my blogs.

To leave you with SOMEthing worthwhile (besides the value of extended warranties for laptops), here’s a quote from G.K. Chesterton:

The Byzantines hammered away at their hard and orthodox symbols, because they could not be in a mood to believe that men could take a hint. The moderns drag out into lengths and reels of extravagance their new orthodoxy of being unorthodox, because they also cannot give a hint– or take a hint. Yet all perfect and well-poised art is really a hint.
