And The Winner Is ...

Me! I think I have sorted out my new computer. It now is acting like a productivity tool not an opinionated hunk of technology, meaning I am finally getting to understand and learn what does what. Not an easy task for someone who hasn't bought a new computer in the last decade.

I went to my TOPS meeting this morning and stayed the same which is sometimes a good thing although I do need to start losing the weight. Summers are tough for me but now that cooler weather is here I have no excuse except lack of motivation and I think I am motivated...at least I will work on that.

I had the opportunity to visit another of the TOPS chapters that I work with on Monday night. What a great bunch of people. They were so friendly and welcoming. I really love having the chance to get to chapter meetings and to meet all the terrific members of TOPS. I am now working with 20 chapters from New Ross/Gold River chapters to Baccaro in Shelburne County. Wide area geographically but all great groups. I am working on getting visits scheduled to the chapters that I haven't visited yet. In September or October.

Techology - You have to love it!

I have spent every available hour during the last two days trying to get a new laptop computer set up and functioning. I had forgotten just how much work and aggrevation a new computer can cause...but it looks as if I am past the half way point.

I do have a beef about software companies that design hugh programs that take forever to load and then they have dozens of upgrades waiting for you to hook up to the internet for the first time. I'm not sure if I agree with that approach. Several of the downloads are hugh and I am one of four people in North America still struggling along on dialup. 'Nough said about that.
