I must say I am staying at one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever been to, the Arizona Biltmore, favorite of Clark Gable & Carole Lombard.

Sounds nice, Rodz. The hotel. Not the heat.

Finished The Storyteller's Death, acoming-of-age ghost story/romance/magical realism tale. I enjoyed it, despite some problems.

The writer seems to have been heavily influenced by Once on This Island.

Mac Mini arrived two hours late, but it arrived. I've now unboxed everything so that when I come home it's ready to go.

Hoo and Ray!

I'm excited, for sure.  I'm also hoping we can get rid of most of the wires so that the only ones left are the power cord and the modem/router.


Vibes that everything works great once it's all set up!

It's been going for about fifty minutes so far via the Thunderbolt cable. We're doing it from the backup drive because my old computer crashed three times in a row and was not reliable - and if we'd tried to do it wirelessly it would have taken at least twelve hours, if not more. It says fifty-four more minutes, but I think once it gets past the big files it's doing, that could go faster. That's happened consistently since we began.

The three crashes were not. I suspect we were trying to do too many things at once.

I'm really glad I was able to get the new one - in the nick of time, I'd say.

Still plugging along - apparently it does the biggest stuff at the end - another thirty-five minutes, and if that holds the entire 1 TB of stuff will have taken two hours rather than twelve or more.

My hope is that for the last 150 gigs it will speed through them. Right now there are about 240 gigs of the 850 total.

I'll leave the old one up until we do what we need to do in the morning. I'll get up at eight.
