Taking off their shoes after a day in their new initialled socks, the children found a little surprise: their shoes are now initialled. Very convenient, since all their dress shoes are black and there’s only a small variation in size.This also has implications for those prone to borrow others’ socks and shoes without permission.I [...]

Today we tried another new pumpkin recipe, supposedly a favorite of George Washington. It was…interesting. I think I could really like it, if I could forget what real modern version tastes like.

hold down the windows key + d = show desktop (minimizes EVERYTHING)
fast spell check (outlook and word) hit the f7 key and it will automatically start the spell check
