Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Oh, no.  I wasn't a specific fan, but this is sad.  Eddie Van Halen, Hall of Fame Guitarist Who Revolutionized Instrument, Dead at 65.

This article just says that he died from cancer, but another one that I'd read specified throat cancer. :-\

Not a great fan either, but it is sad. Jump was my favorite.

I have a Microsoft Word question: does anyone know how to do a universal search to accomplish something, like make one space between a period and a new sentence.  A relic of my old typing days, I usually do two spaces, but that appears to be politically incorrect now.

Yes.  I do this all the time.  Hit "Ctrl+H" and the Find and Replace box will pop up.  In the Find what: box, type ".  " (that's period-space-space).  Then in the Replace with: box, type ". " (period-space).  Then, you can click on the Replace All button. 

I usually just find two spaces and replace with one space in general and just keep clicking the Replace All button until there are no more double spaces in my document.  Just be specific on what you want to find and what you want to replace it with. :)

Thank you, DR George!

Periods and spaces periods and spaces.....

That just reminds me of my biggest argument with my typing teacher.  During a 5-minute timed typing test - you got your words per minute from the margin in the book. If you typed this far, you typed 65 words per minute.

Then you had to count your errors and deduct that number from 65 wpm. I kept saying but I made all of those errors in FIVE minutes.....the errors should be divided by FIVE as well.....I typed 64 wpm and made 1 mistake in FIVE minutes.

NOPE.....he looked at me like I was crazy.....

I had to drag out the little ladder, take care of a storage issue, and now I'm ready for a week at the Mayo Clinic.

That makes me nervous, Larry.  BE CAREFUL!!!!

Good Afternoon!!  The Kindergarten class made their debut on to campus this morning and they are very cute!  I've seen them on Zoom, of course, but it's the first time on campus.  The are situated in the gym and in our upper hall - 6 feet apart, no more than 20 in a cohort.  5th grade comes tomorrow and in 2 weeks, we welcome 2 more classes - one in the morning and one in the afternoon.   It's great to see the kids!   

I'm heading home now, and will check in again later.  Stay safe everyone!

Well, I ended up getting between four and five hours of sleep, thanks to the tree people not showing up when they were supposed to.  I woke up again at eleven and the tree  noise was intense.  I had stuff to catch up on and then at one I got down to the stuff I had to get done and did all that.

Then I decided a good meal would make me happy, so I ordered CPK - a roasted garlic chicken pizza (it's small - under 800 calories), and a small Caesar for greens.

Pizza was great.  They'd removed it from the menu years ago, and I had no idea they'd brought it back.  Caesar for later.  Very full right now.

I made a pot of lentil soup for dinner. I hope it's good. Vegetarian with a dollop of sour cream and lemon added at the end.

It needs another 10 minutes or more to finish up.

I hope I have the patience for the movie I want to watch tonight, Martin Scorsese's Silence. Or least get halfway through it.

As I get older, I find that making sound effects definitely helps me get up and down from things, like chairs.

I agree, I find there’s a lot of groaning accompanying rising from a kneeling position these days

Sometimes, there are a few when sitting down, too.

We're in a documentary groove here lately. Tonight, one about Bill Cunningham, the "fashion documentarian" famous for his street photography in New York City.


Then, another one on film critic Pauline Kael.


Both enjoyable; both on Netflix.
