Watching an old show on the new TV. The UHD is definitely different but hard to explain how.
Shopping for a new TV was a pain though. I don't understand all the differences and for every TV you read about online, half the people hate it and the other half say it's the best ever.
Finally gave up and went with a brand name that fit the size and price range I was willing to pay.

Now you need a 4K box (free upgrade) from your cable company

Albertville had the strangest Opening Ceremony of all time

AND the greatest crew credit roll ever
Believe it or not the role of Jim McKay was filled by Tim McCarver

I passed a professional certification exam today, and honestly thought I was going to fail because I was bombing on the practice tests. These "situational judgment" questions are so arbitrary, misleading, and at time contradictory. But the real exam seemed a little more straightforward than the practice ones and I just went with common sense on a lot of them. By the time I finished I thought I was borderline but probably failed, so when "Result: Pass" popped up on the post-test screen I almost jumped out of my chair.
Now hopefully I can parlay it into a promotion or at least a decent raise.

Not gonna lie, sometimes I miss these days lol
You know, back when all you needed was common sense not to turn on the electric mixer in the kitchen when the big football game was on

Unfortunately, Comcast doesn't stock 4K boxes at their brick and mortar offices and won't even order one for you when you go in. You have to call them to order it, and it's a pain getting out of their circular voice menus. When I ordered a 4K box, I literally had to scream at it "No! No! No! I want to speak to a real person!!", and I was shocked when it worked.
What makes Wordle so appealing is it is like doing the daily crossword in your local paper. No charge, no fuss, no ads being rammed down your throat. There was a simple purity to it that is rare on the internet. A game that served no other purpose other than to be played and enjoyed.
The NYT will now try to make money of it and either put it behind a paywall or cover it with ads and thus suck all the fun out of it and another simple pleasure will be lost to the greedy hands of capitalism.
Sorry I'm feeling a bit mellow dramatic.
A real shame though, I enjoy doing it each day.

No, this was my response as well.
Business is business.
But this will ruin the game for a lot of people.

My hip is really bothering me (I have arthritis in both hips and SI joints).
About a year ago I got an ultrasound guided shot into my SI joint and it helped (it is not guaranteed that it will) Actually it is 3 shots. You have to get an appointment in the ultrasound room and with a specialist.
I am leaving in a couple of weeks for a Bs road trip with my daughter and worry that I will have a difficult time walking all over the place. I called yesterday and got an appointment for next Wed to get the shot(s). Fingers crossed that it works. I am happy they had room for me in the schedule.
Getting old can be a challenge.

This was me when my new router from Comcast couldn't find my network or any of my machines:
"THEY'RE RIGHT THERE. NOTHING HAS CHANGED."
