My laptop display is acting wonky, a technical term of the Geek Squad, and it’ll be a month before somebody can come out to fix it. So I am condemned to use my old desktop, Stonehenge era dinosaur. But first I had to unclutter the hard drive, so I could get a minimal operating speed. It’s incredible how much stuff gets stashed on a computer, and never taken off. Oh well.
I hope I haven’t uninstalled something essential. We’ll find out soon enough, I guess.
At the moment, in a V position, with a book beneath the keyboard—not me, my laptop!—I’ve got a clear display.
I’ve gotten interested in St. Francis. Leonardo Boff’s Francis of Assisi is a philosophical tour de force, which I’m reading slowly and humbly. But to get the life of Francis I’ll have to go back to G.K. Chesterton’s, and via Internet the very earliest biographies of Celano and Bonaventure. Whoopee!
Poverty is a wonky computer. Hmm! Wonder if Francis would agree.
