I might actually graduate! First ceremony since 1990. Gown in bag (please note it says "doctor"), tam & tassel, 6 graduation tickets.

Ugh... almost done with this stupid access db and I need to make a form print two copies and stop having a blank second page (which may just be from imperfectly arranged fields. Here's the code:

Private Sub PrintTicketButton_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_PrintTicketButton_Click

DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection

Exit_PrintTicketButton_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_PrintTicketButton_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_PrintTicketButton_Click

End Sub

Suggestions, anyone?

It's been so long since I've done any coding! (damned tax law) My developer reference books are all in storage in PA.

Cuteness!



Adrian gave Nisha a treat and then tried to take it back. She turned her head away and put her paw on his hand to
stop him from taking it.

I love my office. Nisha loves chasing chickens or sitting with jill. It's very wet here. Uncle dudley's basement is flooded (no laundry for me!). A's basement flooded a couple nights ago, about 4".

I'm hanging out at a quarry installing some software... The weighstation has as many as 400 trucks a day, about 22 tons each truck. That's a lot of rocks.

This bus is cute :-)

@paul asked about how residential well water is being remediated when gas drilling contaminates it. This story discusses a whole-house reverse-osmosis installation. My understanding is that gas drillers aren't installing reverse-osmosis systems very often. They're really not a permanent solution - they take maintenance and money to run, they're noisy, they're slow.

“Both of the homes will be getting reverse osmosis systems which will remove total dissolved solids, chlorides, manganese, iron, dissolved methane and ethane gas from their water supplies,” Tarbell said. “There will also be pumps installed, water softeners and UV light to disinfect the water as part of the project.”

I want to learn to hula hoop. @Dovelette's idea... she lent me a hoop that's currently decorating my bike. I've started to get it, but I need to practice a lot more. It seems I should be able to be pretty proficient if I practice during the bar review.

A game called wasabi...
