January 27- a day in Arlington and Nantucket in thr throes of Juno

We started our day at the Apple Genius store in Arlington to solve some of our technical problems so that we can continue this blog and keeptrack of our photos etc,  First, i could not get the keyboard to work or connect with the ipad mini.  I think that the genius fixed the problem in less than 60 seconds,although i had worked on it for about an hour last night. Sigh.  Then we worked on the slowness of my iphoto library,  He didn't completely solve the problem, but did help a lot and helped me to consolidate my libraries.  It looks as if i will need a new computer in a year or so.

Then, we went back to the hotel for a nice homemade lunch,  Then we went to see "The Imitation Game" which is nominate for several Oscars.  We loved it. Bennedict Cumberbatch's performance is amazing.  We saw "Birdman" with Michael Keaton, also nominated for an Oscar.  we also liked it, but think that Cumberbatch is the stronger contender.

For dinner we found a good Indian take away and ate in the apartment again and worked on this blog while watching the Australian Open.

We have not heard from Nick on Nantucket since this morning, but have watched the news.  Nantucket is completely cut off and without power,  So Nick sits,,,sans heat, sans water, sans power,,,bored silly.  The storm is still raging, but we hope he'll have power before the end of the day
