Day 1197: Nothing is ever simple

Oh, it's easy to transfer data from the time capsule to a new computer.  Sure, it is.  I wanted so much to complete this task on my own, but no luck.  I went online and found that it's best to make a backup for the time capsule on an external hard drive and then download that to the new computer.  The drive  has stopped humming, so it's probably finished, but there's no way to know for sure.  Tomorrow, my tech specialist son will walk me through the rest.  AppleCare will be the next step.  Perhaps by tomorrow night, my fingers will be flying across the new keyboard.

We went to see the film McFarland at the Opera House and thoroughly enjoyed it.  It's the story of a cross country team that won the California state championship in their first season.  Made up of Mexican American boys who picked fruits and vegetables before and after school, they had incredible courage, stamina and fortitude.  The coach and his family were misfits initially, but grew to love the community.  Over fourteen years, their team won nine state championships.  The story started out a little slow, but with the addition of a comical chicken and inspirational performances, by the end, I was laughing and crying at the same time.

The lilies are popping!
