Back 'em up folks
I'm sitting here writing this post on the iPad while my laptop hard drive is being restored from a backup.
I got lucky. At least I hope so. I just did a full bootable backup of the laptop in preparation for partitioning the drive for a project I have in mind that I want to keep isolated from my day to day stuff. I finished the backup and when I went to partition the drive the disk utility refused, saying the drive was corrupt and needed to be wiped and reformatted first.
Let's hope the restoration succeeds.

Over Fifty
Some of this has been painful for me, but it's all been wildly instructive. And it convinced me that nearly every person over fifty should try to find a time to sit down and engage in the same exercise, even if you never intend to publish anything. You need to think about what really meant something to you. Who did you really love. Who really made you what you are. What the seminal events did. And also it's an incredible discipline. Because I found it shocking to me what I remember and what I don't. It's shocking to me what I can remember factually and how hard it is for me to be absolutely sure about how I felt at the time. You know, how did I feel when I was 16? I don't really know.
