Living the Life

Sharon's check written up and very tired and very quiet here today. I'm at the coffee Joe and it's 9:13 AM.

This is My Life.

Yup I talked to a nice woman who commutes from West Chester each day. She has 2 kids. She is living the life. Well there is not envy here just expectations here. I am living the life that seems to fit me. Now its not fitting for others who show more success than I but I try to stay in the here

13 Inch MacBook Air

and now and go from there. I have to not fall into resentment and anxiety about others and what they have etc. When I talked to the Apple genius He says my external hard drive may not be read on the Mac

Still Pretty Quiet at 10:15am

if it wasn't formatted. Interesting Eh? Well see the 13 inch MacBook Pro 13 inch Mac Air i am leaning towards

Yes, Virginia, It's a Bit Pricey

the Pro but I am gonna let that marinate for a bit. I'm not going to meet my friend for coffee before another meeting. Well you met my friend at the Starbucks

Lovely Spruce Street

we each got something to drink and then left to take a walk down Spruce Street to the dog park. You're a

Locust Near Broad

today. I just got out of the meeting. I'm now walking down Locust and I'm gonna take a left at 13th.

Broad and Locust Streets

I went to the springboard media and asked  them questions about Mac computers.  I just had a 20 minute

My Place to Ask Questions

 conversation with the guy from springboard at 13th St. He thinks for what I do I would save

MacBook Air

$100 buying this year's Mac Air over buying last years model of the MacBook Pro. If I bought this years MacBook Pro I'd spent $200 more.

Simpler to Just Buy a New Portable Hard Drive

I would have to buy a new portable hard drive since my hard drive I have now is not formatted for Macs. That adds 100 bucks!

The Item that really jacked the price is the Apple Care!!! it's l 250 bucks Just for that!!  So the minimum I would spend would be $1500.

I hope Mike would qualify for the 12 months same as cash deal. That would make it 125 a month. I would then pay it off when I got my taxes.

Had to Chase the 48 Down

Okay I'm going to chew on that for a bit. Sharon thinks I ought to forget the "Apple Care" When I was trying to  catch the 48 it started just driving away and I had to flag it down. The driver thought I was only taking photos and not waiting for the bus. I edited  parts of this blog while on the bus. It was
