Each of our children are going through major exciting times. (It’s all good.) Well I’m here to tell you we are no slouches for excitement right here at 8800. Why just today Danita went to the pool while I was on a bike ride. Add in neighborhood parties and food truck dinners with our neighbors and it’s easy to see just how exciting life is here in Columbia.

For the last month, I have been working on a new computer. I ordered a Microsoft Surface Go 4th edition. It’s 10.5″ display makes it perfect for travel. Adding an external monitor offers a nice big screen when using it at home. I received the new computer a month ago. It’s working fine, but the extended warranty I purchased was not linked to the computer. After 3 phone calls, Microsoft decided to swap it out with a new computer, this time applying the warranty to the new computer. I got the new computer, but the warranty was applied to my original computer. Now I have a month-old computer with a warranty, and an RMA to replace that same computer, and a brand new computer that doesn’t have a warranty. It’s all quite confusing. I hope I can get this settled out this week.

We’re getting serious about setting up our next trip. This one will be January 8 – May 1. It will involve ships, planes, trains, and automobiles. I don’t want to give away everything just yet, but it will include some quality time with JAMM in San Diego. Woo-hoo!

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
