When were the new fonts introduced? It might be 16.

On an up note, I have once again been invited to enjoy Sunday’s qualifications for the 500 from the comfort of a turn-2 suite. I’ve been in the suite a few times, and it’s a great spot to watch the action. Oh, and free buffet and an open bar. And garage and pit passes.

I saw a Sox game from a box suite once, which included a full-time employee to put condiments on your hot dog.

We passed cups of beer from the open bar to the people in regular seats below us.

The whole experience basically ruined going to games for me.

Yeah, ever since we started getting semi-regular invites to the suite, I really can’t imagine sitting anywhere else on the property.

I’ve been to a bunch of box suites and I’d take regular seats any day

Our son and daughter-in-law surprised us with a visit today, with a belated mother’s day gift and an early father’s day gift. They gifted me with a bottle of The Shin 15 year old japanese malt whiskey. Man, is it good! Dangerously good.

My “uniform” top is a black, Duluth Trading, long-sleeve, long-tail T-shirt. Randomly decided now was the time to turn some of them over, and they’re having a 30% off sale. Ordered 16, saved $140.

Uniforms are also a minor pleasure. I can’t remember the last time I’ve expended effort deciding what I’m going to wear.

we like their overalls. the shirt I ordered was too small alas, so I'll have to try again.

I can appreciate the time savings of a uniform, and certainly there are days I just throw things on with no coordination or care in the world... but there's times when clothes are fun.

I’ve been a fan of Duluth Trading for years. Originally because they were the ones who started the “tool bag” instead of “tool box” revolution. The clothes were just a sideline then, but they slowly pivoted to almost all clothes. Made me sad, but Custom Leather Craft bought a bunch of their patterns, so most of the important ones are still available.

Better Rename

Also available on the Mac App Store.

I do a ton of batch renaming, and this thing is a godsend. Sequential numbers with proper padding is its bread and butter, but the options for renaming criteria are so exhaustive I have yet to run into a renaming task it couldn’t accomplish.

But what kind of furniture? Adjectives are important.
