second Thanksgiving of the season last night; sprouts are getting better, and replacing a potato dish with reheated store-bought latkes is a real timesaver.

Turkey, stuffing, brussels sprouts, latkes, jalapeno cornbread muffins, ginger cranberry sauce.

Area Man Again Thinks It's Thursday

just had to roust a trio of teens making a big racket trying to film each other skateboarding on a pipe fence that runs right alonside our house, and I've never felt older.

62 in the water, low of 47 tonight, might be the last night at camp for the year

update: It ended up being Thursday itself that was weird; Friday's personality is sufficient to assert itself.

how is it not Thursday?!

And what am I going to think Friday is?

We're having a guy in from LA next week to give a lecture!

*boss tests positive for COVID today* ha ha ha whee

instead of being off by one like normal in my "don't know what day of the week it is" fugue, this is the secnd day in a row I have thought was Thursday

FARTING A BRICK

@brennen Is there some way to deal with character classes in a way that avoids the letter e?  This is in service of trying to rewrite the top line in, like, awk '{gsub( or something

@brennen

sed -e "s/[^ ]*[Ee][^ ]*//g" "$1" | \

intended behavior: deletes all words containing E and/or e

observed behavior: same

sed -e "s/[^ ]*[^abcdfghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz][^ ]*//g" "$1" | \

intended behavior: same but eliminating two Es from the source

observed behavior: seemingly deletes everything but one-word lines that do not contain the letters e or E
