Remember what I said about updating this site more? Yeah. I really ought to do that. I mean I wrote this thing last month and I’m just now posting it. Sorry. In any case, I thought I should at least write down my thoughts on participating in my first jazz jam this – well, when I drafted this it was this – week. I could go into great depth describing why I wanted to participate and all the prep involved – and did in my first draft of this post – but for the sake of “brevity” I’ll leave that for another time.

Last week I bought a MacBook Pro. Today I received it in the mail. Shocking how that works. I wanted to write down my thoughts on the experience and why I decided to bankrupt myself for a laptop. To address the very expensive elephant in the room: I purchased a refurbished 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro from Amazon as they were selling a few for $1500. For those that are fortunate enough not to know: that is relatively cheap for a MacBook Pro.
