    Quick Video on Installing the Case for iPhone 17 Pro

    So, about a week ago, I posted a YouTube video about my first ever time installing an OtterBox protective screen on my new iPhone 17 Pro. I installed the case the same day. I also have a holster with belt clip. If I can do it, anyone can. My smartphone situation is pretty much back…

    Got Vaccines Today!

    Sena and I got our latest updated seasonal Covid-19 and flu vaccines today. Manpower was low at Walgreens so we ended up sitting for about an hour, but otherwise this was a routine trip. We’re thankful. We noticed there were a few people waiting—mostly our age. No word up yet on the CDC ACIP site…

    Won Cribbage Solitaire on First Game Today!

    I won cribbage solitaire in six deals (meaning I got to 121) on my first try today. Lucky break. I’m beginning to think I should just film these because, at least lately, I seem to be on a winning streak. My first and most recent win was 3 days ago and I think I’ve played…
