I’m tired of all of the lies and crap coming out of the mouths of all Republicans. They are letting their own constituents, who voted them in, out to dry, and in some cases, they may die. Disgusting people.
Doing some running around this morning, and I might take a fresh look at what I was trying to accomplish yesterday with PopClip.

Today was not a very fruitful day when it comes to programming. I wanted to see if I could take my Groq spell-checking code that I use in Drummer and repurpose it to use with the Wordland tool Dave Winer recently released. I was hoping to use PopClip as it generally handles text manipulation quite well, but alas, I couldn’t get it to call my Python script correctly. Sigh.
Beautiful sunny morning! ☀️
Busy day between getting taxes ready for my accountant and working on some command-line tools built in Python.
Almost feels like spring is here! Warm up into the 50s today! 😊
Nice sunny morning, but still a bit cold!
Had a great time last night having beers and dinner with some old friends! The bar was having karaoke as well, which turned out to be very interesting. I, however, didn’t get up and sing. 😊
I watched the 4 Nations Faceoff finale game last night between the US and Canada. It was an exciting game that Canada won in overtime 3-2!
The sports world got some sad news last night. Mike Lange, who was the long-time voice of the Pittsburgh Penguins, passed away at the age of 76. His sayings were one of the best things about the broadcast, besides his incredible knowledge about hockey. He retired in 2021 and will be missed by all of us fans. “Elvis has just left the building!”

Still very cold, but no new snow!
Another bitter cold rest of the week!
Heading back home to Pittsburgh this afternoon after a fun weekend with the Maryland grandkids!
Rainy Sunday morning down in Maryland.
Down in Maryland for the weekend, helping my son and his family get organized. My wife is so great at organizing!
Heading down to Maryland this afternoon to see my son, his family, and my grandkids. 😊
Very rainy morning.

I see my cardiologist today for my annual checkup and hopefully a new prescription to replace VASCEPA. It was bad enough when this medication cost $100 a month, but with my new Medicare Advantage update, it is now $348 a month, which is incredible and unaffordable.
Got some running around to do early this morning, then I have a Zoom meeting at 11:00.
An interesting problem arose on my daughter’s Etsy site. She was trying to issue a refund, but there was a bug in their code that was showing a transparent sign-out layer over the top of the div that contained the refund actions, so anytime she tried to click the refund popup menu, she got signed out. By using the inspector in Safari, I was able to hide the sign-out layer, thus allowing me to successfully issue the refund. I miss playing with HTML! 😃
What a great win for the Philadelphia Eagles in last night’s Super Bowl! Their defense smothered the Chiefs' offense with 6 sacks and 2 interceptions. No three-peat for the Chiefs!
It’s Super Bowl Sunday! I truly hope the Philadelphia Eagles win, thwarting the Kansas City Chiefs' three-peat!
Show day! My daughter is part of the I Made It! Mine at The Block Northway event today! She’s one of over 120 vendors selling all types of wares. It runs from 10:00 to 3:00 today, so stop by! 😀
