Good news: my laptop aten't dead! I did not take it to the Genius Bar; I took it to my father and we spent a day and a half wrestling with various technical stupidities, including several that interfered with the first two kinds of backup we tried. All of my data is safe. The laptop itself has some problems, but none of them should kill it this week. I am relieved. This is the only laptop I have ever named and I am sentimentally attached to it. Also, I couldn't afford a new one right now.
Bad news: I am so behind on three different kinds of work for this week.
The maple tree outside our front balcony is flaming crimson and madder and several shades of firelight in the afternoon. I hadn't been noticing it much, but it's beautiful.
