Today on Monday Mysteries we have just a quick post to pose a currently unanswered question: what’s wrong with my MacBook laptop? Yesterday it decided that it had had enough, I guess, and now is ignoring me.  I.e. it won’t turn on.

And yes, for those of you about to ask, the one that’s malfunctioned is my brand-new one, the one I purchased in November.  Sigh. Ironically, I got the new one because my old one was threatening to do what this one just did.

But yes, I did buy the Apple Care coverage, thanks for asking, so the repairs should (in theory) be covered once we get back to the U.S. and an Apple Store there. So tomorrow, after we get to Seattle (as previously scheduled we are leaving Vancouver in the morning ),  I’ll be headed to a bar.  The Genius Bar at the Apple Store, that is, to see what they can do for me.

Until that’s sorted out, there will be a hiatus on the blog.

BTW,  my project on women photographers is also on hold until then. FWIW, I’d settled on a name for the project: Photographs, Pistols, and Parasols.  Thanks for everyone who gave me feedback on the original proposed names!

Anyway, hopefully I’ll be back on here soon. Stay tuned.
