The year of technical tangles?

We hope not. But 2011 has started off with a little more electronic drama than we care for! (Hence our lack of photos or posts since the New Year.)

My laptop -- with all the backlogged photos I'd had in the folder labeled "Meow Meow" -- is permanently off, until a new power source arrives by mail. The adapter fried itself with a glorious hiss (not unlike the sound an angry kitty makes) toward the end of our vacation and the battery hasn't been able to hold more than a few minutes' charge for several months. So we look forward to some replacement parts soon. Till then, I need to poke Dieter a few more times so he can upload the few images of you-know-who that are on his phone ...

Happy January.
