"I already had one car, but it was far too small and slow
for desert work. We went to a Polynesian bar, where my attorney made
seventeen calls before locating a convertible with adequate horsepower
and proper coloring."

Three weeks ago, I took the chance to listen to the very last take of my #score #recording for Treasure Trackers in the hall. Words can't express the feeling of hearing your music come to life by a 90 piece orchestra.
I definitely have the best job in the world.

Doing a template reshuffle, trying to speed up my aged 2013 TrashCan Mac Pro. I read that Summing Folder Stacks in #logicprox can really slow things down. I'm noticing a big lag anytime I copy and paste, or undo, or most seemingly basic functions. So, I've gotten rid of the Summing Stacks in favor of regular old bus tracks, and gone to plain Folder Stacks for arrange window organization.
