GMail Hack Needed
Anybody know how to keep GMail from disclosing the outcome of the sporting event I recorded at home this morning?
Well, at least it wasn’t the most important stage in the three-week bike race.

Lloyd George Magee, aka Superman
Born 2/22/17, lived everyday of his life to the fullest until July 9th when his body could no longer support the weight of his amazing spirit. His wife of 61 years, his 4 children, his sister, nieces, son-in-laws, grandchildren, great grandson, his two adoring caregivers, and all who love him will forever cherish all the wonderful years of his wise counsel, unrivaled witticisms, and resolute love of life. His life was filled with much good fortune, countless good times, and a dry martini at 5:00 - he wouldn’t have had it any other way. Upon his death, he wanted family and friends to celebrate his long life, not grieve his death. So to honor this incomparable man, family and friends will raise a glass, recall all the good times shared with him, and smile - he wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

Nearly a month later and I’m still thinking about this obituary. I almost never read them but this photograph leapt off the page.

Pulling into my neighborhood today, saw a 60-year-old man on the corner listening to oversized headphones. He wore ripped jean shorts and a black tank top with this image on it. Had absolutely no idea that there would be a market for tank tops for this band’s male fans.

I had this in my head tonight. What’s the word on having your own song stuck in your head.
Autoearworm?
A little clunky but it sounds gross enough to be appropriate.

My only complaint about this is that it’s the opening line for a short essay rather than for a novel.

Started the weekend fixated on Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” and am ending it with this song stuck in my head. Just goes to show the power that music with a message can have.

- M: I liked watching Texas hold off the invasion, until I realized they just didn't have the data entered into the database properly.
- H: That’s some scary stuff.
- H: Except for I need to go to Walmart today and pick something up. Thank goodness there’s one close by.

Technical Support Question
I’ve looked in the Apple troubleshooting section and haven’t had any luck so I thought I’d see if anyone knew how to fix this problem:
This morning we were out for a brisk walk and it seems that someone accidently set my dog on shuffle.
