I went to a game shop in Lexington today to look for board games. One that I was interested in was on a review site that said it sold for $35. The local store wanted $55. One of the big online retailers sells it for $29. I’m all for supporting local businesses, but not at a 90% markup.

Stay healthy and safe.

I’ve mentioned that I’m moving into a new position. I met with the person who has it now to review a report that he puts together every month. He took me through this convoluted process where he copies information from an Excel spreadsheet into a Word document, uses search and replace to reformat it, and copies it into another spreadsheet. He said that he usually spends the day on Sunday assembling it.

He sent me a copy of this month’s spreadsheet so I could put it together. I went to our internal AI website, told it what I needed to do, and had it write a script to do it. It took a few iterations, but after an hour I had a reusable script that reformatted the data in about 1 second. Don’t tell anyone.

Stay healthy and safe.

My favorite memory of Randy Savage (see below) is him voicing Space Ghost’s grandfather on Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

I suppose I should watch the films nominated for Best Picture. I still need to watch last year’s nominees, though. And the year before that…

Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only real cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas.

Trash day is Thursday, but recycling pickup is every other Thursday. I think I finally have the schedule right.

Stay healthy and safe.
