Hamilton Live. I'm lucky enough to live near Bristol and could afford to get tickets to see Hamilton at the Hippodrome. I'd heard lots about it on my podcasts. Then watched it as soon as it was available on Disney+. Not only that, I also devoured the official cast recording.

It's my weekend, and I've fallen off the wagon. I walked the dogs to Lovett or Leave It and the Flop House. It showed me just how much less attention I have when I'm plugged in. I keep on walking past the dogs, whereas when my ears are enjoying nothingness, I follow the dogs.

I'm past half way. I need to thank Annie for coming up with the idea. It could be because I'm competitive, but I'm enjoying the nudge to write every day.

Tech support time. If you've read my introduction post, you'll have seen I love all things Apple. In the past I've needed a Thunderbolt dock and according to Casey Liss the CalDigit TS3 Plus was the best in class. I think I bought this when I had an Intel MacBook Pro. The dock charged and drove my 4K monitor perfectly. However, there was a weird mouse and keyboard issue. The mouse stuttered. Letters kept being dropped. I never fixed it. The dock went into storage (the top draw of the desk cabinet).

Wish me luck — two interviews today.

It all started with an amazing birthday surprise from my Wife. She bought me a 60-minute holistic massage. I've had sports massages and Thai massages before — but I don't think I've had a holistic one. The treatment began with questions about where I hold my tension, am I particularly stressed at the moment, etc. Then the masseuse got to work on my back and neck. Where there was a lot of tension. She asked me to drink lots of water, and if I felt emotional, that I should try to sit with those feelings.

Is the age of my daughter. She is growing up into a very self-confident person. When I remind her of this, she gives me the credit. I am confident in many things, and like to challenge myself.

Why do I really enjoy watching Eurovision? Why do some of my male friends think this says something about my sexuality? Are they so insecure in their own, that watching hot naked male gyration might make them feel something? 

It's strange how some numbers become linked in your head with specific things. The first one for me was three, the magic number.

I found a solution to yesterday's problem. With the help of Firefox and the Print Edit WE extension, I created a PDF for each page of the Microsoft module. So for some courses this is 7 PDFs. I then used the free (but you have to register as a user) Adobe website to merge them into a single document.
