I apologize for the lag in my blogging. It's not for lack of stories, I assure you. Rather, my laptop decided to die 2 days before Christmas. It literally died, We just all the home remedies...hold down the shift key + space bar + power button....etc, etc. Nothing. Nada. I had to come to terms with the fact that I could not breathe life back into it. It was gone. And all my data along with it.
The reason the last sentence is sad is because I have been earnestly interviewing for Season 2 of the Gramercy podcast. I had some incredible conversations with 8 guests that were still sitting on my dead hard drive waiting to be edited and produced. That was the most sickening part, not knowing whether we would be able to retrieve all those interviews.
I brought it to the computer store and was told it would take up to 2 weeks for them to look at it. Good thing it was Christmas season because I had no plans to work on the podcast while all the kids were home anyway. So it wasn't that huge of a loss. But when I got the call that, "we can't fix this...we need to send it to Apple, " then I knew to be scared.
To my surprise, a few short days after I was told they sent it out, I got it back. And the good news - they recovered EVERYTHING! My motherboard was fried, my battery was expanding, and something else about the keyboard and trackpad. But my data, all my saved websites, passwords, and everything was in tack. I was beyond thrilled.
Now I'm back to blogging, editing and producing my podcast, and general computering. All is right in the world again.
So my stories might not be in chronological order for a few days, but at least they'll be back. Which reminds me of my favorite "Hamilton" song which I'll leave you with for your viewing pleasure because it makes me happy.
