This is a long, complicated story, but that’s life, isn’t it?
I always try to find strategies to make my life better, to make it easier. That doesn’t always work.
I wanted to play an old song, “It’s A Man Everytime”. I was able to find a recording on the net, but I couldn’t find the lyrics. I knew there had to be a way to get speech to text so I could easily print out the lyrics from the recording. I spent three hours on it and couldn’t do it, so I used a good strategy and went to a friend for help.
He couldn’t do it either.
Finally, I gave in and decided to do it the hard way. I started playing the recording on my PC and paused at the end of every line and dictated the words into my iPhone. I knew this would be slow and laborious, but the easy way didn’t work.
It took me five minutes.
Strategies O the Day:
When what you’re doing isn’t working, try something different.
Sometime you need to just grit your teeth, hitch up your pants, and grind it out.

Personal Notes O the Day:
This isn’t the post I intended. I wanted to post an excellent comment one of you made; I think it was Jeff? Couldn’t find it. If it was you, please resend it.
They hid the comments over in the right hand margin or way way at the bottom. I recommend checking out the comments; they add a lot.
I love comments. Thank you.
