I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I cycle between reading on my kindle, on a laptop, and on my phone. Not being able to search as well or look things up as easily on the laptop irritates me. I use those kind of a lot. And I can't read magazines at all on the laptop. But having a tab open that I can switch to while I'm waiting for a report to finish running rather than going to a completely different device is nice. Weirdly, I can read magazines formatted to match the print edition on my phone but not on the kindle, but of course the phone has a tiny screen. I got a Kindle Oasis specifically because it is waterproof (or resistant, I forget which) so I could read in the steam room at the gym and I actually do that sometimes. It's also designed to be held one handed and it really does seem more comfortable lying in bed holding an iPad - although I haven't been able to justify getting a new iPad since my last one got old and tired and cranky so I am not comparing to today's iPads, they may be better in that respect.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

First hummingbird of the season at my feeder. Yay!

Happy Birthday, Karl!

We are going to the Winchester Apple Blossom Festival today -- DH found it this morning. Pretty drive out to a Winchester , so even if it's a dud, no one loses. Plus, there's a ferris wheel.

But first, we swim.

Good days, all.
