New Laptop

So it's going to be two days in a row of posts! I told you I'm motivated to get caught up over here!

The only thing of minor excitement that happened between yesterday and now is that I got a new laptop at work. I know, this isn't really blog-worthy news, but there are two exciting things about this. First, since my promotion, I don't need as much crap installed on my computer (not doing development anymore means less developer tools I need), combine that with the fact that my old laptop was 3 years old, and that means this one should hopefully start up faster (my old one took 20-30 minutes from pressing the button to being in my email).  Second, the new laptop has a numpad!  Now, sitting at my desk I use a separate keyboard anyway, but I spend at least half my time in meetings now, so having a numpad on the laptop keyboard is pretty exciting. Ok, I really probably won't use it much, but it's still cool!

Anyway, the photos I'm posting today are from when YPA participated in Keep Akron Beautiful by picking up trash around Lock 3.  We met some cute little baby geese along the way, too.

Later that same day, we met some friends up in Geneva on the Lake to do some wine tasting and wandering around.
