Because of the problems elmore had with his Music on the new computer and because there were people who had the same thing happen, I was petrified of that - but it all came over perfectly - all the playlists, everything. I now know how to get rid of the weird second user thing, but I'd rather have the back house fellow here to make sure we do it properly - although it's really just the click of a button. And then we have a choice to make on the drive where the hourly and daily backups go. I think I know what the choice is, but again I want the back house fellow here when I do it.

Great!

I also love the new keyboard with black keys - so much easier for me. Same with the trackpad - and all the settings for both came over. I haven't had to do much of anything. And Chrome, which was horrible on the old computer, is so fast on this one. Smitten, I tell you.

When will we see photos?

DR John G, thanks for the info on The Storyteller's Death. It sounds interesting.

It was a library recommendation for the whole city to read. I don’t always like their choices, but this one was fun.

I will explore if I want to read this or not.  Aftr a quick glance it looks interesting.

I am back -- and burning up. Pretty much literally.

I had to see one of the other doctors in the practice this time because they are so busy and my regular guy had to do something elsewhere. Well, this one is a great guy, wonderful personality, etc., and very thorough -- so thorough, in fact, that he just about plastered me with the liquid nitrogen. It's more coverage than I've ever had.

The results will be great, but I had better not be seen by anyone for the next week!  :)

I know the feeling too well.

After listening some more to the internal speakers vs my external AudioEngine - I think I prefer the internal.

BK, I noticed some of the Amazon reviewers just did one or two quick sentence reviews.    Do those help at all?   Or is it better to just give a star rating rather than that?

I've certainly, by jumping around through sections of the book, read enough of the book that I can do that.

Not sure what a man, even a gay or bi man, singing Ladies Who Lunch brings to the song. And Alan Cummings’ Shakespearean slow intro verse is way too pretentious. But this is interesting.

This diva song worked for Alan Cumming, I thought.

My guess is that they were studying how to read an analog clock.

Regarding HAMILTON hitting the 10-year mark:

If it's OK to self-promote as a so-called "NYTimes commenter," LOL

Lin Manuel Miranda has become as generous with his fellow, lesser known writers as Sondheim had been.  He noticed my parody lyrics in the Times comments sections, and publicly tweeted encouragement!  To then make it somewhat meta, the Times even reprinted LMM's tweet ["Freddie the NYTimes commenter is a local treasure"] - bottom of this article.
https://archive.nytimes.com/artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/06/01/service-advisory-artsbeat-is-finished/index.html

One of the happiest aspects of that was that the printed-out LMM tweet was taped to my parents' fridge in Florida for close to a year, like a good report card or a good review!
