This is not the first time that I’ve written a post featuring Evernote. I’ve extolled (I don’t get to use that word very often) it’s virtues as an organizer of recipes and magazine articles. I’ve written about how I’ve used it to organize my knitting patterns. In addition, Evernote was the app I wrote about … Continue reading

The Sabbatical
I stink at my sabbatical right now. I keep thinking of things I want to say…like that “I’ve finally cracked it…!” [the way to make packing less of a nightmare, that is]. I think that post is my next App of the Week. At any rate, I just want you to know that I reserve … Continue reading
