Back 'em up folks

I'm sitting here writing this post on the iPad while my laptop hard drive is being restored from a backup.

I got lucky. At least I hope so. I just did a full bootable backup of the laptop in preparation for partitioning the drive for a project I have in mind that I want to keep isolated from my day to day stuff. I finished the backup and when I went to partition the drive the disk utility refused, saying the drive was corrupt and needed to be wiped and reformatted first.

Let's hope the restoration succeeds.

Was Love Then

Was love then like a bag of assorted sweets passed around from which one might choose more than once? Some might sting the tongue, some invoke night perfume. Some had centers as bitter as gall, some blended honey and poison, some were quickly swallowed. And among the common bull's-eyes and peppermints a few rare ones; one or two with deadly needles at the heart, another that brought calm and gentle pleasure. Were his fingers closing on that one?
