You should always plan for inclement weather.

Just came from the movies . Saw A Star is Born. While not my kind of film, it was very, very good. Definitely the film to beat at the Oscars.

I hereby grant you permission to depart to your place of residence.

If challenged, show them this statement as evidence of authority.
Sadly, I have not yet become independently wealthy and, thus, must work for a living. Otherwise I won't have money to buy chocolate. And that would be a tragedy.

Ah, but this is special circumstance paid leave, so it's fine ;)

I was very confused.

Everclear is a brand of contact lenses here.

I wondered what benefit could be had by cutting them with foodstuffs...
Eddie Izzard had a similar problem with the EZ-Pass when he came to the US.

Well, I wasn't able to revive the keyboard on my laptop, even after a good washing and cleansing with alcohol. I have to head out tomorrow to deliver some training, so after a quick trip to Best Buy, I now have a newer model from the same line. I put the old drive in an external case, hooked it up, and have booted the new PC from it. Loading a mess of drivers now. Once they are done, I'll crack open the new PC and swap the drives.

Not how I'd planned to spend the afternoon.

Did you try shouting at it?

Any percussive maintenance*?

I gave it a few whacks for good measure, but the nature of the error shows it's not stuck (patterns of keys that don't work). Something has fouled the circuit. If I'd had a few days, I could have ordered a replacement shell (keyboard and palmrest) from eBay and had it back up and running. I might still do that, then sell it off, perhaps.

Well at least you killed it properly, so there's something to take solace in...

Resumed my normal workout routine after struggling with my cold and not working out all of last week. Did you know, if you don't do POUND for two weeks, it hurts? Yoga and Zumba here I come!

@gpseymour and I have a mud run in 12 days. @Xue Sheng won't be there to rescue us since he probably has a thing, with a guy, at a place... besides such events are usually chock full of avid bacon lovers. So... we are on our own. Ready or not.
