I use my iPad daily, all day. The keyboard case makes it function like a laptop, and it’s more convenient than my laptop.
I only use my laptop when I need to chart and write knitting patterns, and make handouts for classes.
Enjoy your new toy/tool, Daniel!
@Bernard That’s just a masterclass in total control over every muscle/eyebrow twitch/lip curl/expression. So so good. Thanks for sharing the clip.
I sang through the soundtrack on Spotify this afternoon. Just a masterpiece.
Rocky Horror Picture Show, Spamalot, It, so much more.
He was 80.
RHPS is still playing at midnight on Saturdays at the theater in the neighborhood where I grew up.
Also, Italian plums/prunes are ripe here, and they’re perfect in plum torte.
It’s a mashup of recipes, and benefits from cornmeal being subbed for part of the flour.
The world has lost a shining example of talent, goodness, and generosity. Rest in peace and power, Dolly.
I’m not sure it’s just girls. I think there’s an entire generation that has self-diagnosed, trying to understand themselves and life. I think pandemic shutdown was traumatic, and has had lasting effects on mental health.
It’s been warm, but not blazingly hot here, for which I’m grateful. Also dry. We could use some rain, without lightning. The wildfires have been rampant this summer in Oregon, but not close to Portland.
@RealPlayer I’m glad you’re okay. Protect your head! I’m a big fan of bike helmets. I had a concussion (even with helmet) in a bike accident nearly 30 years ago. Woke up in the street. I think I slid on wet pavement, but I have no memory of the accident.
Mr. AM traded bikes for one with a step-through frame several years ago when he was no longer able to throw his leg over the crossbar of his bikes. I don’t think you’re at that point, but it’s something to consider for the future.
@jon-nyc We love rails to trails! Gentle grade, off the road, usually through nice areas. The only thing I don’t like is the stanchions where the trail crosses a road. They’re there so cars don’t come up the trail. But suddenly I feel like I can’t steer well between them!
@wtg Does this mean getting up without using your hands, or just not leaning onto a chair/table/other stationary object? We were just discussing this with Mr. AM’s sister, who was screened with this question and she wasn’t sure she had answered it correctly.
