I’m playing with a time blocking app that adds my time blocks to my schedule.

My calendar just sent me a message that I should leave now to get home in time for my block of housework I have planned for this afternoon.

Sorry AI, I’m at the Subaru dealership and can’t leave ‘til my car is ready.

Now I’m wondering who would win in a contest between Dr. Oz and Secretary Kennedy.

Probably depends on whether it was a war of wits, social media flame war, or hand to hand combat.

My internet is running very very slowly-many sites just time out. I believe its because everyone in town is streaming the game.

One more reason it's time to go pick up my Amazon package and do some shopping.

Just got an update that the Superbowl is about to start.

That means it's time to go run errands because everyone but me and people who have to work today are at home watching the game and I won't have to stand in any lines or deal with crowds.

That would be a waste of popcorn.

I think the AHA should start offering mannequins to TV shows and movies so they can do a little visual magic to make it look like the mannequin is the person getting CPR and the general public can see realistic CPR not the chest petting they usually show.

Until you completely crush the bottle and it splits down the side.

But that's OK, because it shows you're doing compressions right.

Had breakfast with friends. I've pretty much lost touch with all my friends since law school, but now with only 1 class 'til I graduate I can reconnect.

Oh, and a wonderful opera last Saturday.

Any loose teeth, broken teeth or teeth that come out.

(because I'm tired of reporting that I say "when did you last eat or drink?)

Going online this evening I learned that there's unrest in the financial market, Congress is fighting with itself again, and according to Wirecutter I'm cleaning my toilet wrong.

I'm going to go offline.

Just checked: an annual visit with my PCP is available middle of April. A sick visit, March 30.

I’m looking at that and wondering if they could use that as a containment technique for the body parts of passengers who don’t fit in their seat and need to put up the armrest and share their neighbors’ seat.

Yellow Jack (flag) - Wikipedia

One that we can't see is the yellow flag.

It showed up on some cruise ships about 6 years ago.

That is one downside. That, and the limited time you can keep a book checked out. My most recent acquisitions have both been long. One is from over 20 years ago so not much demand and I could renew it. The other is almost 1,000 pages and I had B&N gift cards so I bought the physical book.

Oh, Chirp for audiobooks. They run sales all the time, and recently added CarPlay capability so you can listen during your commute.

Try your local library. Not only do they have physical books, they may allow you to check out audiobooks or ebooks.

Libby and Hoopla are 2 apps I use at my library. (I don't recall which one but one of them lets me check out books and read on my Kindle)

Today marks a generational divide.

Does Groundhog Day signal the course of the next 6 week's weather, or does it mean what happens today will keep happening over and over and over and over again?

Odd that Bill Murray, who gave us the second, is 75 years old which should place him in the first.

After they're done force feeding the goose, making it lay more golden eggs 'til it can't lay any more, THEN selling the goose for meat and keeping all the eggs.

Don't recall all the classes I took.

But my first degree was AS in welding and fabrication.

Second was AAS Marine Engineering Technology.

Next was BA anthropology. Then MD. In a few months I'll add JD to the list.

Still haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up.

Current;y tryin gto type with coban on my right index finger. It's there to secure the tegaderm that's covering the Aquaphor on the crack in the skin of the fingertip.

Thought I could get away with letting it heal on its own but then I tried to knit.

An avocado is a commitment. You surrender your autonomy to the avocado, for when comes the day to eat the avocado you must eat the avocado. Previously it will have the taste and texture of oily wood, and following will resemble snail slime.
I'm now off to find something that pairs with avocado.

If I knew there were armed agents with tear gas and pepper spray wandering the streets I'd obtain a gas mask. And swim goggles. And a leaf blower.

Friend with connections had tickets to previews of "Kinky Boots" and Cyndi Lauper had a cameo but I don't think that counts.

Then again, given the story.............
