Hello world - spent some time learning how to do 'wildcard' search and replace in MS Word - handy at times. Like when I've got a document with 7-digit patent numbers here and there that all need to have a 'US' stuck onto the front, and it's too tedious to do every one by hand. So instead, using something like this takes care of it:

Find: ([0-9]{7})
Replace: US\1

I like that.

I also like ice cream, which has become a bit too evident. Time to cut back, get into the gym, etc. Went for a walk early this morning which felt good.

Sometimes this writing seems silly, but it's good to just think out loud from time to time. Out loud...in loud...inter loud. Whatever.

Bursts of rain come through, I managed to get the gutter cleaned just as the last one was getting going. Got a new pair of shoes, gas in the car...tune in tomorrow for more exciting details.
