Oh, the power of trees! Why did my iPad stop hooking up to the Internet? Was there something amiss with Jack’s wi-fi or is the iPad messed up? I decided to walk downtown to get some help from the store I bought it from. It was a beautiful day and I stopped by the Susie Forest ash tree in front of the apartment house to check to see if it was ready to spring forth. As I looked at one of the twigs I heard the familiar ding that announces an incoming e-mail. The iPad works by the Susie tree! I ran back in to see if it worked in the apartment. No. Now we know that the problem is with the wi-fi, but until we fix it I’ll run out to the magic tree when I need to get online. Last night I went out at 9:30 to check on something and stood out by the tree reading all the e-mail that had accumulated. I suddenly realized that someone was standing in the dark on the corner watching me. I got inside quickly. I won’t stand by my magic tree at night any more.

Time to get this out even if it’s short, so I don’t have to go outside in the dark. I’ll be back soon with a new blog about a project I’m working on.
