Bueno/Menos

 Dark, scary skies are so beautiful to me!

My day was good.

Bueno: The latest software update for my laptop was apparently all I needed to solve two pesky problems I've had since settling in Honduras.

Problem #1 was that FaceTime calls wouldn't connect at all. Living a thousand miles from everyone I love made this problem hard to ignore. It's true I am meeting some wonderful locals in my new town, but there is no substitute for access to free technology that enables you to see and speak with the friends who have known you since junior high school.

Problem #2 was that Spotify was refusing to grant access to the free account where I keep my treasure chest of music playlists. Something about international access being barred except in the case of users who pay for a "Premium" account.

But now that I finally allowed the software update run on my computer, FaceTime and Spotify work like a charm!

And by the way, the album your ears need to meet now on Spotify is this one:
John Smith – Great Lakes

Menos: Esta lloviendo! (It's raining!)
No software update could put an end to the weather we're having during the rainy season here. Actually, rain wouldn't be such a bummer if it happened more often during the workday and less on weekends. But we're one month into the academic year, and I don't remember a day when there was rainfall during school.

Another bummer for today was the spottiness of the video stream I was depending on for viewing the Georgia game this morning. If you didn't know, University of Georgia football is one of the great loves of my life!
