Mrs. SPG mostly is doing well, thanks for asking. She stopped busbar suddenly in April, and she has more energy now. She started to clean the porch, clean the garage, clean the basement. She does have pain flare-ups, though, especially if she does too much.

Yes, Powerpoint does screen recording, but only while the recording window is focused. If you switch to a media app to play sound, the recording will stall. Not sure if it will record the media if it's embedded in the presentation itself. All this activity seems to be what a "Presentation Specialist" is. I've seen job opportunities for these. I'd apply, but there is an artsy side to it that I lack. And besides, I really don't like working with PPT.

Howdy, SPG, good news your wife is improving and getting back into life.

You said: "Yes, Powerpoint does screen recording, but only while the recording window is focused. If you switch to a media app to play sound, the recording will stall." I couldn't even save it. Big disappointment.

In terms of Measly Steps, I'm getting distracted with so much to do to prep for my travels while the merry condo go round goes round. With a co-counselor's help, I've switched to Ann Lamott's strategy of laying down at least 1 sentence a day. For me, this might include one portion of a step in this process I'm building. I've started a spread sheet to track my string of days. My buddy asked if I'll keep going while traveling. Yes, that's my fantasy.

I'm a fan of Ann Lamott. And I'm a big fan of baby steps. it's the only way I get anything done. Have fun on your trip, R.

I'm glad Mrs. SPG is feeling better.

Me - sore knees, sore hip, sore shoulders. otherwise everything is great. Well, sort of great. Last night there was a skunk in my backyard. I'm not noticing anything right now. Hope it's not just olfactory fatigue.

I had a thought. As you know I do a lot of talking about PR and don't do anything about it. My new addiction is watching Facebook reels. That's since my last virus that hit when I was playing solitaire, so I've given up computer solitaire. Anyway, On the reels, they always say the same things - "They were shocked" "stunned" amazed" "jaws dropped" heartwarming" heartbreaking" "bizarre twist" "you won't believe" "genius" I consider these cliches since they are used so often. But if they work . . . I couldn't use them in my writing. They're just so corny, overused, cliche hackneyed. Oh, "hack" is another one. Anyway, should I use them in PR material?
