Frankenberry's Attic

(Not that anyone asked for it but an update on my new PC that, in my last post, I thought had given up the ghost rather abruptly). In an English accent from atop a medieval yet modern cart heaped with other assorted dead computers … “I’m not dead yet” Thank you Vivek at Dell from… Continue reading

Well it seems my new PC has bit the dust, my crash cart a plug and an unplug while saying “Stat!” in my head. A few seconds of life then nothing. Now the possible nightmare of customer service begins, it is kind of a roll of the dice, though I have talked with Dell before… Continue reading

Someone put this up in the Men’s room here at the station.

So I decided to put my recent musical endeavors into one post, an “EP” of sorts, and yes, I’ve been on a bit of Paul Simon kick lately. It’s tunes and a few words getting stuck in the head for whatever reason, karaoke versions found and new lyrics written. I’ve said this in posts in… Continue reading

When I recently had an allergic reaction to a medicine I’ve been taking for just a short period of time that blew my face up into a bulbous early Halloween costume winner I was relieved by a couple of things.
