Hey all!

I have a new newsreader for my Mac - called "Unison" which I'm trying out.

Also our Christmas party is on September 7, here's your invitation:

Dan!  Great to see you again!
When one gets to be my age the usual response is, "Why thank you! It's
great to *be seen* !!"

Your age? When you reach MY age, you'll feel blessed if you wake up in
the morning, Aging is NOT for the weak hearted. :-)

ROTFL. I suspect I've got some years left. The old body just isn't what
it used to be and that can suck at times.

And, it was awful. It hadn't been updated for a decade and crashed and
failed in a bunch of different ways.

I'd forgotten that Thunderbird works just fine on the Mac - and I
already had it downloaded.

And I survived my party but... dear god! Putting this house back
together after a party is tedious. It's like that plastic number puzzle
where you have to move the 13 before you can move the 7, but you have to
move the 3 before you can move the 13, and you have to move the 12
before you move the 3.

Except you're inside the house.

Aah that's the price of a successful party 🙂

Towers of Hanoi? Or TIPOIO? (The Innate Perversity of Inanimate Objects)

Seems homologous with, "If'n I wuz tryin' to get to Little Rock, I
wouldn't start from here."
