Alexa, Start My Day
“Alexa, tell a joke!” I couldn’t resist the Amazon Prime Day Echo Dot special for $30. I broke down and bought one! My only hiccup to the installation was adding the Echo Dot to the WiFi network we use at Charlestown. A separate portal network is used to add printers and devices like the Echo.…

Working Again But No Pay
My volunteer work is like a flashback to my paid work days. As the newly elected President of the National Continuing Care Residents Association (NaCCRA), I am doing some association management tasks again. The Board of Directors are all residents of CCRCs from east, west, north, and south. Two members are in their 90s. Each community…

Where Have I Been and Mediation
I have had my personal blog on my mind for months. I have neglected it because of other website commitments. It’s not an excuse. If I really wanted to do it, I would make the time. Should I admit I am up to level 995 on Panda Pop. That represents a real time sink as…

Locked Out of WordPress
What a Mess was the last post. I could add “another fine mess you’ve gotten yourself into.” My intent is to post at least once a month. What happened to my fine intentions? Life is what happened. My password no longer worked and I send password requests but never received an email from WordPress. Duh, I…

It’s Outdated!
I watch entirely too much HGTV. It seems every house is “outdated” in some way. Homes that were perfectly good for us now need granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, space for a “man cave,” and at least two sinks in the master bath. Web websites need redecorating too. Have you noticed the websites…
