Lately, I've been trying to touch the screen of my laptop to get it to do something. Nothing happens! I've even gone so far to touch it several times trying to get the exact spot and the right amount of pressure. Nothing happens! Not quite, the screen does move back a bit.
I used to know quite well that I had to move the cursor with the trackpad and then click with the nearest part of the trackpad. But now I spend a lot of time using my iPhone and iPad. With these it's poke and swipe.
Someday I'll get it all sorted out and do the right things in the right place. It's sort of like speaking one language with one person then turning to another and speaking a different language. It's all in practice, practice, practice.

A busy day of trying to do too much
I read the newspaper and it gives me ideas for blog entries. When I write a blog entry I often think of something that needs more clarification. To get more clarification, I search the web for relevant material. I may find something interesting, but that also needs more clarification. The latest find was a chapter of a book. The file had no citation about the larger work or the author. So, I sent email to the webmaster asking for details. I probably won't receive an answer until Monday or Tuesday.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to learn several songs for "Madrigal Dinners". I would like to memorize them but first I have to sing them correctly. For a guy who has been told he has a nice voice, I'm also one who has difficulty staying in key and in time. Plus, I have difficulty grabbing enough air to sing more than two bars on a single breath. And we just remembered we have a practice tonight.
So, you wonder what are "Madrigal Dinners". For the second year, the Unitarian-Universalist Congregation of Duluth is putting on Madrigal Dinners. These are five course meals supposedly in a renaissance manor with much entertainment. The choir is part of the entertainment.
Can you attend a Madrigal Dinner? I'm glad you asked. For more information see "Winter in Love Madrigal Dinners". Tell them Mel sent you.
