With my sister's help 

I got my first audio book downloaded (uploaded? who really cares....) from the library onto my iPad, and last night I set the timer and fell asleep listening to it.  Of course I was tired so I "may" need to re-listen to all of it, not just the part that played after I fell asleep.

In fact I think I'll go do that while I rip out yesterday's block and fix it.

Stay tuned to hear how my brand new seam ripper (and thread scooper-upper) works.
