connections
it was a mostly lovely weekend
a delicious sleep in 2 of the 3 mornings
two very good lunches
one with a friend i hadn't seen in long while
another a birthday lunch with my sister
first
lots of sun
lots of humidity
then
lots of rain
also some not so fun technical issues
one minute the wifi was there
the next it was gone
the internet service provider modem (ispm) was insistent we were online
the apple air-port modem disagreed
i called apple
their tech helped get the air-port back up
the ispm still insistent it was providing connectivity
wasnt
a call to the ispm
began
with me repeating all the things
i had done on my own
to get things connected
none of which
worked any better
following their instruction
finally
i was transferred to someone 'with more technical' expertise
of course
the first helper
hadn't told
the technical expert
anything
that had transpired
over the 35 minutes
of our conversation
thankfully
he was indeed more technically expert
two quick wire/cable repositionings
one slow rebooting
we were back online
ah
technology
you are
a curse and a blessing
