Why Bother? Why I Bother.

We had the grand opening of our renovated co-op Rec Room last night. Got up early this morning and voted in the primary for Persaud for State Senate. Went out to get a corporation tax doc notarized for my co-op, mailed it. Went to work on my business.

People today are more disengaged than ever. Through force of will I'm involved in a lot of things, but I wasn't always like that. My involvement in the co-op board is my bowling league. I meet and know a lot more people than if I was home every night watching Netflix.

Go out and do something! Put down your phones and talk to somebody!

Windows 10: Dead Start and Search Buttons--Fixed!


One day, my Windows 10 Start and Search buttons died. This fixed it. I posted at http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/computing/has-your-windows-10-start-menu-stopped-working-here-are-four-ways-to-fix-it-11364000314532#disqus_threadthread

Right-click desktop. Go to Personalize/Start (5th item). Click Start Full Screen/On.

Restart . . .

Right-click desktop. Go to Personalize/Start (5th item). Click Start Full Screen/Off.

Start and Search icons both restored.

The only odd thing I've done lately is let my son copy a DVD because his Mac has no drive. He used his old Windows logon, for the first time since I upgraded to Windows 10. I wonder if that is related to this problem in some way or just coincidence. I also had a problem with the icons locking into place to the left. There is solution for that too.

This worked just fine! Thank you so much!!

Heartland v. Big Town

The true narrative of a city is less existentially threatening and more life-affirming than the soul-sucking ennui of a dry, flat Footloose state that drives people to leave for the excitement and anomie of Big Town, wherever she lies.
