mdlbearOh, good grief! This is going to be hard to summarize, isn't it? Maybe I should just throw up my hands and refer you to the notes? Maybe not.
Lots of stuff going on: I had a prostate biopsy and got back a clean bill of health. My nose is back on steroids. Colleen is getting more mobile -- she can walk about 20 steps (with walker, of course), and transfer in and out of her power chair.
We took delivery of Naomi's new commute car (a Ford C-Max Energi plug-in
hybrid). Naomi's massage therapy license finally went through, so the
household's massage studio is now fully armed
licensed and operational.
Lots of good links: see especially ysabetwordsmith's poem: "The Crystal Inside the World", a nice riff on my song The World Inside the Crystal.

The USB-3 one has a connector that is apparently a micro-USB next to a similar but smaller power connector; there's hope that an ordinary micro-USB cable will work if the socket has enough power available, which most of them do. -> maybe.
