bearshortySo this morning, at breakfast, Bear and I had that conversation with his mother we were not really looking forward to and just as we thought she would prefer a rabbi not cantor although what she really wants is a priest. She also was giving up all kinds of bizarre reasons about living in the city and if we thought about communing. She really doesn’t want him to leave home, I think. Seriously, coming up with some story of a big guy who was beat up in Brooklyn on the way to see his girlfriend and then when I, puzzled at her point, mentioned that I lived in the city for a long time and felt pretty save, she points out that it would be safer for me as a girl? Both Bear and I were very confused by that and then later laughed about it a lot because that was just such a ridiculous thing to say.
After late breakfast, Bear drove me home. There was a brush fire close enough for us to smell it near our house and we could see it pretty far away. Thankfully, it wasn’t anywhere near my house but just led to traffic.
I made hot dogs and plaintains for lunch that Marianna gave me on Saturday. It was my first time making plantains and I did burn them a little – but they were still very edible.
I finally got my new laptop that worked today and then I spent about 5 hours to setting it up, transferring all programs and documents, downloading all programs. At least all bookmarks for Firefox transferred. Transferring iTunes library was probably most frustrating. Here is hoping that Tosh works well this time. I’m getting very cynical about computers. New settings – purple color for the Windows and new background – Hogwarts from Orlando instead of botanic garden. I should make a folder of pictures I can rotate as a background. I’m crossing my fingers that this laptop lasts longer than my last one.
