Car Woes Redux

Got up bright and early yesterday to go run with the Galloway Group, only to find that my car was stone-cold dead. Click-click-click, no turnover. I went for the 12 mile run alone in my general neighborhood.

Later, Jocelyn ~ bless her competent and prepared soul ~ came by and gave me a jump so I could go over to Abbie's for dinner. I drove out of the way on the beltway to try and juice 'er up, which seems to have worked. I was able to go home and to church this morning.

Now I'm in the Clarendon Apple store waiting for the fine folks at NTB a block away to replace the battery and call me on my cell. They WERE going to charge me $99 for the thing, but I expressed such horror that they immediately knocked $50 off the price. (Imagine what their mark-up must be!)

[By the way, the Apple Store is packed. Buy stock now.]
