Sorry if anyone used the comment feature I put in last night – it totally hung on the provider end so I took it out. Life is hard enough without having to wait forever for a web page to load. If you have comments about what you see or read here, please leave a comment in the guest book at left. I get notices and will contact you promptly! Thanks.

Almost forgot – posted some autumnal photos here.

Survived day two (after having Sunday off…..)

For a video clip of the store opening, taken by one of the customers. It’s rather large, so you probably want to give it a headstart before starting it. Ron’s in it, and I think I go by very briefly. Also it’s shot in sort of music video style – lots of movement – so dramamine might be in order.

First day in the Albany/Crossgates Mall Apple Store —

Here’s a photo of me, dressed for the part, in the kids section. Photo courtesy of the canadian visitors, who posted pre-opening reports and photos to a canadian mac site, ehmac.com This pair of mac loyalists travelled from canada just for our opening and were not only first in line and through the door but made the first purchase of the day as well.

Worked in the afternoon talking about ibooks and imacs and even sold a couple. Now I’m a tired pup,

–telemarketing mode on – something about resort vacations…..–
I say “See ya!” as I hang up the phone. OK. Normally Ron and I will say something like – we’re-not-interested-in-phone-solicitations-goodbye, as we’re hanging up the phone.
I go back towards what I was doing.
The phone rings AGAIN. I pick it up.
