Thursday miscellanea #75

  • Apart from the transport controls, when I click something in Windows Media Player it almost never does what I expect it to.  I’ve been using computers for more than 30 years, and GUIs for more than 25, and I can’t recall having a poorer sustained relationship with a program.
  • I generally like foods for which lime or vanilla are the primary flavors.  However, if it’s a lime or vanilla variety of a food for which something else is the primary flavor, then I find it cloying.  “A hint of” lime or vanilla roils my tummy reliably enough that I just stay away now.
  • I haven’t been nearly as good as I’d like in February on diet and activity.  Rather than getting discouraged and quitting, I’m hunkering down.  That’s what you do with slow-burn, forever situations.
  • Giving up alcohol for Lent certainly won’t hurt.
  • However, my renewed interest in the bread machine isn’t particularly helpful.
  • Nathan learned a bit about Helen Keller in school, and is fascinated with her.  He was delighted when I told him we only lived a short ride from her house.  We planned to go Monday.  So it snowed.
  • Obama’s health care “summit” of February 25 is widely regarded as a trap for the GOP, but I think they can win it outright.  I’m pleased to see some prominent agreement.

  1. I don’t remember the source, but I recall hearing that Helen was quite the horndog. Given the acuity of her three functioning senses, I can only imagine the intensity.

  2. I love our bread machine. We credit it to selling our last house. We had a couple come look as the bread was in the awesome cycle where it smells so good… They made an offer that day!

  3. Lee: Man, that’s just…I don’t know. Off. 🙂

    Kelly: Ours was set to be ready about 6:45 this morning. Totally awesome…

    Greg: That’s way too complicated for me. I need Our Betters to handle it for me.
