Mind Map: Cries of the Heart

Back to the Books

Dear Reader, A few months back, I was browsing around the Internet, looking at one thing and another, and I stopped by the Latimer Minster website.  2012-2013 is the second year that they'll be working with the CS Lewis Foundation to offer the  London Fellows Programme . Look at this book list ; it is very long and has surprisingly little CS Lewis on it... But I'm psyched anyway!

I sat on the couch contemplating these events.  Knowing that the laptop battery no longer held a charge, I concluded that if there had been a power cut, the laptop would have shutdown with the TV.  Therefore there must have been a power surge, and the surge protector had dutifully saved the attached electronics, which, alas, did not include the laptop. While the laptop did not show any signs of immediate damage, a few days later, I attempted to open the DVD drive only to discover that the drive would not open, nor did Windows recognize it.  A 7 year old laptop is not worth fixing, so I decided I would do the "normal" thing and buy a DVD player, and a multi-region one at that.
