Yesterday, Joanie invited us out to dinner, to welcome her sister Max back to town. Max was visiting old friends, one of whom, Sherry, also joined us for dinner. We ended up going to Session Taco, which used to be called Mission Taco, but when they ran afoul of Mission Foods, maker of Mission tortillas, and had to change their name. It was good to see Max again.

Today, I decided to check on the iPhone 17 Pro Max that I had ordered in Malden. Logging into my AT&T account, I found no record of this order. I then went to the ATT store. At one point over the next two hours, I was down two iPhones. The one that I had ordered for delivery in November had supposedly already been delivered. Plus, the iPhone 12 that I had walked in with no longer had any service. It eventually all got worked out, but not before having to show my ID literally a dozen times. I do not know exactly what went wrong. My credit card on file that had been lost last April and had eventually stopped working. That was surly part of the problem. The ATT store had just rolled out new internal software which was also problematic. Anyway, I am still now expecting a new phone delivery in November. The Good Lord willing.
