Hello? Anybody Home?

Can you believe it’s been over a year since I posted to this blog?! 😱 And it was such a busy, crazy year, too, filled with things I could have shared in several posts!

[Insert sheepish grin] If I had applied my iPhone knowledge to my MacBook and forced a shutdown by simply holding down the… Continue reading Laptop bag…er, sleeve
