I tagged BK on this, but just in case he doesn't see it or for anyone else who finds it interesting, this is a surprisingly comprehensive article on the problem of dialogue not being easily understood in movies these days.

I saw the article on dialogue - it kind of blames a myriad of things, but I only blame the actors.

Arrived on time, files transferred, drive boxed and ready for Fed Ex. I could try to do that now, but I think I'll do it after storage.

DR John G.'s list would work for me, but the one I know I will make sure I get to a theater for is West Side Story.

Oh man, that would be intolerable. I'm glad they're coming out to fix it.

I just had a thought: what if it isn't the cable but the computer? Oy!

Oy!

Vibes it isn't!

It was my modem. The serviceman was a nice young man named Jose. He was here, maybe, 45 minutes, he repaced my modem and all was good. Stella was a little hyper, Annabelle refused to rise from her hammock to greet him, which was surprising since she loves greeting people, and Thatch hid under the bed.

Very good news!

Thursday afternoon greetings!  We've been to Dayton for Richard's second appointment at the burn clinic.  Nurse Practitioner Erin was very encouraged and says the likelihood of skin graft surgery is significantly reduced because feeling is coming back.  That, of course, means pain, so he's on meds for that.  We had a nice brunch at First Watch on the way home and I did a very fruitful (well, cookie-ful) errand.
