Thanks. I'm not sure "fun" is the word, but I do try to keep my sanity with certain projects. It's been grayer than Gandalf outside lately, so definitely not the ideal weather for doing much of anything that requires time outdoors. Hot too, especially with the humidity at 80-90% But I'm sure that's nothing for you. There was a man I used to work with, hailed from southern California. He'd never stop talking about how it got to 110 in the shade.
I was looking online for a new laptop a few days ago and I was surprised that it's so difficult to find a new model with a disc drive. I'm more of an old-school dvd-watching kind of fellow, so most of the new "ultra-thin" models, while looking sleek and cutting-edge, just don't work. I always knew the trend was toward smaller, lightweight electronics that are great for gaming and streaming, but holy moly, I had no idea the future was coming this fast! Pretty sure I got stuck somewhere around 2010.
Been reading some books and articles about physics and the nature of the universe, but those can get really heavy really quickly. Both figuratively AND literally.
And that is still the funkiest frog I've ever.....
