Saturday morning greetings! Today I have 2 - count ‘em 2 - things on my calendar. For my DAR friends I’m leading a book discussion on David McCullough’s THE PIONEERS and after that there’s a social engagement that I’ll tell you about afterwards.

Wishing you a swell audition, George!

Same from me!

And, DR Rodzinski, it’s so good to have you back here!

DR elmore3003 - I think it is easily doable. What you are looking for is called either a USB Splitter or a USB Hub - kind of like a power strip for your port.

Good morning, all.

It was -6 when I woke up this morning, but it'll be a toasty 21 later today.

Hold the phone! Stop the presses!

DR Elmore -- those would be HDMI ports, not USB ports. (They're slightly larger than USB, with beveled ends.)

I just did a little googling on this, and what you need is an HDMI switch, not splitter. A "switch" and a splitter are two different things. I just read quickly through this article (so now I'm a renowned expert on this), and you should do the same before you order one: https://cnet.co/3JLnQ09

Thanks! I've sent the link to Jen, asking her opinion. I'll deal with it once I've heard from her.

I'm listening to the new cast album of Into the Woods. I'm not crazy about the show, but the album strangely finds me tearing up again and again.

Thanks for catching that and for the correction, DR ChasSmith. What I meant and what I typed are not necessarily the same thing.

My costume is ready to be put on.....so I shall shower in awhile and get dressed.

No rush.

More than eight hours of sleep, which is great.

Listening to Into the Woods, I am reminded of David Wilson's wonderful tragic novel, The Coachman Rat, about the rat the fairy godmother changed into Cinderella's coachman, The story is about a rat treated kindly by a young girl with a fairy godmother. After she marries the Prince, the word gets out that she is a witch, and the peasants storm the castle, killing everyone and executing Cinderella as a witch. The story ends with this man straddling the worlds of rats and men, as the Pied Piper leading the rats of Hamelin to their deaths. It's one of the most haunting books I know.

I like some of the spaghetti westerns

But I think I dislike more of his movies than like them

It sounds wonderful, but not for me at the moment.

I’m just starting a long novel called Fall on Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald. A multigenerational story. Was an international bestseller. Now adapted into a six-hour play. Has anyone read it?

Let’s get off this page.
