The notes app I’ve been using for years, since I got my first iPhone, Fliq Notes does not seem to be playing well with iOS 10 – and as far as I can tell, they’re not supporting it for iPhones any more at all. I can open notes, but I can’t edit or even copy the text in them. Fortunately, the whole reason I was using that app instead of Apple’s own Notes was the fact that Notes didn’t let you sort items into folders, and that capability seems to have been added now. I am managing to port notes from one app to the other by going into each note I want to save, clicking the email button, copying the text in the email that comes up and then deleting the draft, then pasting it into the Notes app. (This is stuff I really need, anything from gift ideas for next holiday season to meal plans for the week to details of health issues I was trying to pin down to my Dutch social security number in case I ever need it again.)<\/p>\n
The only fun part is coming across things I’d forgotten were there, like a poem I wrote last month in the Galapagos:<\/p>\n
When Was the Time Before Fear?<\/p>\n
Yesterday a sea lion
\nrested her head on my foot –
\na sweet surprise but a small one,
\nhere in these islands
\nwhere fear was never conceived.<\/p>\n
How far back, I wonder
\nwould you have to go
\nfor that to happen
\nin places less remote?<\/p>\n
Before there were billions of us?
\nBefore there were millions?
\nBefore the first hunters learned
\nthat, banded together,
\nthey were more formidable
\nthan those who hunted them?
\nBefore spears?
\nBefore fire?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
