Friday This, That, and the Other

Baked chocolate chip cookies after supper.  Instead of mini M&Ms or Ghirardelli 60% chips, used Hershey milk chocolate chips.  First time I've baked cookies this year.

During the noon hour, PG and I got groceries at Wegmans and bird seed at Wild Birds Unlimited.  At Wegmans, a dozen eggs went for $2.99 instead of $4.99.  At WBU, PG said all we need is the same set of seeds we chose last time, and I felt like going inside and saying simply, "We'll have the usual."

Carrabba's tomorrow for supper, and paying for it with a couple of gift cards courtesy of a field account manager.  Also got word today that a new laptop is on its way to me.  That explains why IT support is ignoring my requests to install Acrobat and SnagIt.  Now someone needs to explain the difference between a thin client and a thick one.

Just looked up at the screen of the Cubs spring training game -- (1) is that old guy Rick Sutcliffe?  (2) it's the top of the 7th already?  Maybe some of these new rules ain't so bad.  I'll never get used to the Manfred Man in extra innings, though.  TV is still figuring out how to add the pitch clock to the screen.  Superimpose it at the bottom right?  Superimpose it within the info box at the top left?  But they'll figure it out, probably learning from how the play clocks in NFL games and shot clocks in basketball are handled.

It should be easier than it is to print a PDF from Pat's iPad.  She finds recipes, and we have to print-screen them or put a link to them in Google Keep, then create a PDF from a Windows machine.  

Despite painstakingly entering the assigned information, 1Password informed me that something was wrong and rejected it.  So much for putting it on an iPad.  Works like a charm on all Windows machines in our house.
