I’m up at the crack of dawn, clutching a cup of coffee, carrying a laundry bag, paddling toward the laundry room. What to expect? A former client has already left a cautionary note. Behold, a shining new-fangled washing machine, with enough gadgets and signals to alert the dead.
Don your glasses. Push the built-in compression button. Reread all the options. Note the “cycle status” before proceeding.
Advance with caution, lift the lid, review the cycle features.
Using the skill of a licensed airplane pilot, I proceed to load the washer: add soap, water, clothes – white or dark- close the lid.
The green light flashes. I’m off the runway and in the air. The cycle begins!
It’s the digital age. It’s a walk in faith.
