Mighty Mouse Fix

I would like to report today was very exciting. But it wasn't. It was a relaxing wet, cold, gray day. Which is good for getting things done inside.

An email from Kansas City today brought good news of strong support continuing to build for the DB chapter there. I sent along a pre-formatted spreadsheet to collect chapter worker and chapter contact details.

The Detroit event continues to develop. I head up there on Thursday to meet with the growing crew to serve on the DB board and for our event up there.

I forget if I've described it before, but here's what we're doing: Alastair Willis, a good friend of mine who is a symphony orchestra conductor is conducting a Christmas Pops concert series in Detroit. The newly formed chapter board (as a result of the TMC Youth Summit in Chicago) has been bustling and recruiting members to the board and promoting the event. We're getting folks to the 3pm show on Sunday, the finale. Afterwards we'll all head backstage to meet with Alastair and later Alastair will speak to the group about how he uses Christian Science in his daily expectation for harmony in his work as a conductor.

Oh, and the other 'exciting' thing is I took my Bluetooth Apple Mighty Mouse apart to fix the scroll ball that decided to get gummed up and not scroll down any more. I found a great site, www.mightymouserepair.com, that gave me step by step instructions. I had called Apple first (mistake) to get their suggestions but they ran me through all the crazy questions and whatnot about what OS I was using and to take the batteries out and put them back in and blah, blah, blah. I wish they would have just admitted it's a common problem (comon, someone built a web page around it all) and made their non-warranty cleaning suggestion - just use water.

Anyway, after taking it apart and not loosing all the small parts, my down scroll works again! And it'd brilliant.

It's too bad we had such a short turn around time, but it's likely we'll be able to do more of these events as Willis keeps me posted of his upcoming concerts.
