To do

I leave tomorrow morning for the U.S. to help my mom post-hip surgery. The surgery went well and she is in inpatient rehab. Hopefully she will move home while I'm there and I can help her get situated in the house.

I have a list of 16 things to do today, including negotiating on the house. The blog will probably be interrupted for a while. I'm going to buy a MacBook Air when I get home and leave my laptop behind (it's extremely heavy and not fun to travel with). Who knows how long it will take me to get up to speed with Apple. Supposedly everything is highly intuitive, however I've heard that before. Electronics cost about half in the U.S. what they cost here, hence the timing.
