Good morning, all! Yes, I too thought it was Friday, which is sad since this year has gone too fast and too miserably for my taste.
The computer news was quite a bummer, since it was an aggravation I really do not need at this time and, whether it needs serious repair or a new purchase, I really cannot afford either. My Mac Man thinks he can clean the hard drive and get it back into running condition, so I hope he's right.
DR Cillaliz, thanks for the link to the Stephen Collins article. I worked with Collins in 2000 and we communicated by email for several years. He was friendly and supportive during an ugly production situation with an asshole director who didn't do his homework or research and was completely dismissive of my work. I really appreciated that and I thought him a really good man. I'm not excusing his behavior, but I do wish him well.
I was surprised on reading the article at the author's grammatical errors. The dumbing down of America continues.
