Team Europe played a hell of a series and definitely gave
 Canada a run for their money.
Mega kudos to them.

Best Wishes, Vin Scully!!



To me, the voice of baseball has always been Vin Scully. Mr. Scully has been the voice of Dodgers baseball since they were the Brooklyn Dodgers. He started his illustrious career in 1950, and sixty-seven years later, he's retiring to spend some time with his family including sixteen grandchildren.

Maybe I don't enjoy baseball as much anymore because that familiar voice is not the one that calls the games I watch. He's only heard on local L.A. radio and a Dodger owned cable station. No Vin Scully on nationally broadcast games.


Best wishes and God Bless, Mr. Scully!!

Target sighted, full speed ahead...


My Scrivener class has been outlined and scheduled. The online meeting venue has been researched,  and it looks as though it's going to work. I suppose I ought to test it again at home (rather than at the office) just to make sure. The first class is going to have three (maybe four) students.

I do think, though, that I have a lot more class material than an hour's worth, so if I do decide to give this class on a regular basis, I'm going to have to break it up into smaller chunks once a week for three or four weeks in a row.

And if I do a basics class, then at some point, I ought to work on a class for more advanced users. I'll have to see how it goes.

In the mean time, it's Friday. Hope you have a super weekend!

Batting a Thousand...


Yeah, even though it was on my list of things to do yesterday...I forgot again. I got sidetracked by creating a lesson plan. Heh...

We had a guy come talk about Scrivener at my last writers group meeting. It was disappointing for me as I was up to speed on all the things he shared, except one. And at the moment, I have no use for that new tidbit. Unfortunately several members couldn't make it and Scrivener is a very complicated application. I'm not sure the things the speaker taught nor the way he explained them were helpful to anyone just trying to get started.

So I offered to teach one to anyone in my group who was interested.

Which meant I had to decide what to cover generally and then go into specifics in my lesson plan.

So, yeah, that's what I spent several hours on yesterday. And I'm not done. At this point, I'm not sure how long the class is going to last. Yikes. I'm shooting for a couple of hours. Yeah, forty-five minutes to an hour (our usual speaker time frame) wasn't going to be enough, though he did well staying within his time-budget.

And I had an epiphany...I might could do it online. WOO! Our business utilizes remote software and there's a meeting function. One of my techs is going to help me play with that a little today. Online would be soooo much better for everyone I think. No travel across the metroplex!

Okay, so this has got me a little excited cuz I could offer this for money if it works out!!

Well, time to get to other things.

Have a happy hump day. See you Friday.

And just for something pretty to look at, how about Captain Canada, Sidney Crosby. Team Canada kicked Team USA's butts last night in the World Cup of Hockey, so enjoy...
