I haven't forgotten....

I haven't forgotten about my blog, friends. Occasionally I open the screen to write a note, but find I really don't have much to say, unless you want to know about my furnace going out or other similar adventures. (It's fine now, of course.)
I have been completely wiped out with a horrible cold in the last few days...the kind where any light is painful and you just want to hold your head in one position and never move again. Fortunately, the drugs have kicked in and now I'm well enough to complain.
I have to rave for a moment about movie rentals at the iTunes store. When you're sick in bed and in no condition to drive, but can't stand to watch Oprah or Dr. Phil, it's just the thing to download "The Paper Chase" from your laptop. Apple is also offering one movie each week at .99 and some fine young man has created a web site that tracks them for you. Apple's rental policy is that you can keep the movies on your computer for 30 days, so even if you don't want to watch it immediately, you can download it for a good price.
I know that you'll think that the drugs I took had some kind of Apple kool-aid in them, but I can't really help it.

RL, hope you're well over your cold and feeling well. We have signs of spring here. The weather's been in the high 50s and low 60s and daffodils are coming up in our flower bed!
We just rented our first Apple movie, although we haven't watched it yet. I like the "keep it for 30 days" arrangement, but I can't say I'm impressed with the selections. Steven, who's more of an "Applet" than I am, keeps telling me to be patient, and that more movies are going up all the time.
