John Buys Me A New Camera
My camera broke. I can’t imagine why. It just started eating batteries and, gradually, just stopped working.
No one dropped it. Or, mistreated it. It just…stopped.
That halted progress on my blog, of course. I find text so much more interesting with pictures added.
John came to the rescue. He bought me a new camera. A slim little thing that is very powerful. I love it already.
He also spent hours fixing my computer when the new camera software caused the printer to stop working.
I find technology to be endlessly frustrating. It can reduce me to tears and temper tamtrums. And I feel like it wastes so much of my time since when things go wrong, it takes forever to sort everything out again. I feel like I’ve missed several generations of learning with technology. And nothing seems to be written down reliably so I can follow instructions. My intuition is so NOT the intuition of technology.
Anyway, I’m all set to go again. Thanks to John, who patiently comes to my rescue again and again.
Here’s a picture of–and thanks to–John with the new camera:

I’m impressed that this old codger has no wrinkles.
