So like I said, I ordered a new iPad Pro last night. I am a confessed Apple fanboy, so I’m excited to get it and feel like I can barely wait the 2-2.5 weeks until it’s due to arrive.
Last night as I was falling asleep, I found myself wondering what kind of world we’ll be in when the iPad gets here. Things are moving awfully fast.
I excavated my briefcase from where it was buried under cardboard boxes in my office. I thought I had packets of hand sanitizer wipes in there, but it turned out to be Coffee-Mate, which is not a substitute, I think.

Reminds of college dorm life: Corn nuts would be the last candy left in the vending machine, after the M&Ms, Snickers, and all other candies sold out. This was a weekly occurrence. Eventually I acquired a taste for corn nuts.
Appreciating “Pretty Woman,” 30 years later www.refinery29.com/en-ca/202…
I didn’t see “Pretty Woman” until years after it came out because chick flick. It’s a delightful movie. Julia Roberts yes but also Laura San Giacomo, who is an underappreciated national treasure. Jason Alexander is the perfect d-bag. And Richard Gere is Richard Gere and Hector Elizondo is Hector Elizondo, two things that are excellent to be.
I see a few social media darwinists saying we should be willing to sacrifice lives in the short term to restart the economy. But nobody’s willing to lead by example.
But her emails!

This is me tomorrow. I wish we had a space suit lying around.
My brain has been tempting me with the new iPad Pro, about how nice it will be to have that big screen when I’m sitting and reading or doing social media. Or whatever. I’ve been replying to my brain that hey I just got laid off two months ago and I need to focus on building an income stream or finding another job.
My brain said to me this morning, well, if you had a new iPad Pro it would be a backup computer if the MacBook Pro goes belly-up and needs to spend time in the shop. You’ll be able to continue working. And until then you’ll be able to enjoy the iPad Pro – it won’t just sit on a shelf collecting dust.
I said to myself, ha ha foolish brain you are tempting me again with your ridiculous– wait, that actually makes sense.
So I talked it over with Julie. The iPad Pro arrives in 2-2.5 weeks.
How Biscoff Cookies Became the Snack We Crave on Planes www.cntraveler.com/story/how…
I never eat ‘em on the ground but I love them on planes.
It’s crazy how great it is when the flight attendant comes by with Biscoff or other favorite airplane treats. Same for the Amtrak snack boxes. I’m a grown-ass adult who can afford to buy this stuff for myself if I want it.
