Best-laid plans

In his poem, “To a Mouse,” Robert Burns recognized that “the best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men / Gang aft agley,” (that's the way my partner in music2work2 would probably say it) - - or in other words, “ the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” Well, my plans for last week certainly went awry. Between recovering from extracted impacted wisdom teeth and then contracting the Norovirus, I ended up not getting to do a single thing I had planned to do.

I am hoping, as my strength slowly returns, to be able to do writing here, as well as all the things I was planning for last week. Sorry for the silence on this end.

More Changes

One of my projects for this week is to backup the data on my computer and upgrade the operating system. Having never done this kind of thing before, I'm somewhat leery, but I suppose everything will go ok. The system I have been using is Windows ME - a really crazy edition of Windows in that it is not very compatible with any other Windows' systems or other programs. I have a feeling backing up the information that is currently on my hard drive will be the most time consuming and worse part. It will, however, be so nice to be able to once again have a system that is supported by Microsoft and that will work with other programs that will make life easier.

Changing look of the blog

In anticipation of changes we will be making to the music2work2 web site in a few weeks, I am trying to find what changes will be best for our blog with our new look. I will probably try a couple before my partner and I decide on a definite one. This is the first time I have customized the blog since all the many choices for everything have been available. It' s kind of fun to try the different looks and arrangements. Anyway, for a while, the blog may look different each time you view it.

We have discussed some of the changes that will be made to the web site, but I think Andrew knows pretty much exactly the way he wants it to look. I have a difficult time making decisions; he is much better at it than I am. So, I know that the blog changes will fit perfectly with the new look of music2work2.com.
