Quick update

Golly, it's been a while.

Decluttering: Two truckloads to the dump in the last 2 weeks. Woot! Plus the sailboat is up for sale on Craig's List.

Mac Whacking: Proof of operation on older iBook. External monitor works fine, laptop monitor screen works, but its backlight is dodgy. Interestingly, I found a place on the body of the laptop (to the left of the touchpad and below the Ctrl Key) that I can squeeze to make the backlight go on and off. The fellows at iFixit.com say it might be a bad inverter cable... um, right. But I ordered the basic tools and I'll dig into the case to see if there's a simple loose connection.

Music: Trillium (that's my trio) has a gig for Monday before Thanksgiving at the rest home. We've got quite a following there. We're aiming to get into Spokane's Fall Folk Festival 2008. Oh, and I've applied to call contras at NW Folklife in Seattle next May, with my buddies Hands 4 from Portland area.
