  1. I like the logo for FedEx which features a clever use of negative space. Same for the former Big 10 athletic conference logo, back when it featured 11 teams.
  2. Sorry to hear, RG. Benefits? I can sleep until the crack of noon, midnight howling at the moon Goin' out when I want, comin' home when I please Don't have to ask permission if I wanna go out fishin' Never have to ask for the keys --Tom Waits, "Better Off Without A Wife"
  3. probably last fall, helping our son with his algebra homework.
  4. Ours is a cream-colored, single-well, enameled steel basin. I'd love a deep sink if we had a 5-foot high countertop, but otherwise, no thanks.
  5. my wardrobe is simple... jeans and khakis, couple decent suits, button down oxfords, polos, T-shirts, fleece sweatshirts and cargo shorts. I have a couple light henley sweaters that I wear all the time in cooler weather (got the navy blue one on today). The stuff I wear is generally pretty comfortable - winning a fashion award is not important to me.
  6. Same here - it gets most of its use when clients call me; I rarely make outgoing phone calls. But I do like the "soft phone", VOIP, because my phone is wherever my laptop is.
  7. In 2019 I started with a big company that regularly used Skype (eventually migrating to Teams) for collaboration among offices. When Covid hit there was no learning curve regarding virtual meetings since we'd been doing it for some time already.
  8. We had friends who had an annual January cocktail party at their house as recently as maybe 2019 - casual dress but they had it catered with a bartender and one "special" cocktail each year. A nice spread, and unlike some parties it wasn't real loud, so you could carry on a conversation. It was always on a Saturday night and there was usually a football playoff game at the same time... the hostess got annoyed when all the guys wanted the TV on.
  9. Yes - the screen sharing is the game changer. We waste so much less time traveling to meetings now. Teams allows files to be uploaded directly and you can have a sidebar chat at the same time.
  10. yes, his second, I think. James Taylor joins him on the title track (it would seem to be on a very short list of songs about the Mason-Dixon Line).
  11. Sometimes a song doesn't show up on the playlist, if a DJ dug it out of a box in his garage or something, or maybe it it's too new or some kind of special release (not in their digital library, which I would assume automatically populates the playlist). (I was also listening at the time) The song you are talking about was kind of an all-star version of "Going Home", a theme Knopfler wrote for the 1983 movie Local Hero. Check the credits - it's a bit of a who's who. It's a benefit song for a UK teen cancer charity. I think it's interesting that the clip is captioned "Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes"... while Mark Knopfler is my #1 guitar hero.
  12. I guess it sounds like fun but I will be otherwise occupied. So I'll take the sour grapes position - "great, go look at a bunch of bikes too small for me to ever ride" .
  13. I'll call it 9 miles (didn't start Strava right away) - a little riding around Clayton, NJ for a safety improvement project. I was on the MTB today - actually not terribly far from where I purchased it.
  14. I enjoy a sip or two of a bloody mary but after that it's just too much. Too thick! same for screwdrivers.
