Dear Blowhards --

We move to Seattle this week.

The movers will be pack Tuesday and load Wednesday. We start driving north Thursday.

That's one reason blogging by me might be spotty for a few days.

The other reason is that my MacBook has been acting up -- shutting itself off while booting or perhaps a few minutes later.

I'm doing the remove-the-battety drill, but that's not always successful. I need to get to an Apple Store on arrival to get better instructions on resetting the firmware after shutoffs occur.

In any case, one of these shutoffs might cripple the computer until I can take it in; tough to do while on the road.

Later,

Donald
