Have just finished being a right jolly old elf. Just about to settle in for a long winter’s nap.

I was at a company function a few days ago. A pair at the gathering approached excitedly to tell me they had walked across Reykjavik. There, they purchased and brought back a sweater, which was now being worn by one of the two. They were excited to show me because they had been told I was from Iceland.

Somehow there has been discussion of where I’m from, where Iceland was the answer. I’m reasonably certain it’s the unique order of consonants and vowels that constitute my full name. My name has apparently been going around without me.

I’m Wisconsin born, but I’m from Minnesota. The origin story of how I got my name, which includes the European Theatre of World War II, but does not include Iceland, is far more dramatic than the tale of where I’m from. I’m happy to tell you where I’m from. And I’m happy to tell the story of my name, which began decades before my birth.

The tale of how they got the sweater is a good one to tell. It was a really nice sweater. And now, they can add color, about the guy who was, disappointingly, not from the same place.

It would be cool if MacOS had a calculator widget.

It wouldd be cool if iPad OS came withh a calculator.

Can’t have it if I don’t ask, right?

I clean up alright.

In yet another nod to me not being in the correct demographic, I lament today that the Apple Journal app is only available on my phone. Not my iPad or Mac where I can properly sit down at the keyboard and bleed. Blood on the oliophobic and water resistant phone is not at all the same.

Video just does not syndicate well. Too soon. I know.

What you do when you have taken care of business but you don’t need to be at the airport for a few more hours: Niagara Falls from the Ontario side.

Jeopardy Tournament of Champions is making me feel less smart than I felt a few short hours ago. I don’t generally go around feeling smart. Nevertheless, less so, now.
