Charm

You are like the smell of drains
in a restaurant where pâté maison
is a slab of cold meatloaf
damp and woolly.
You lack charm

Poet James Schuyler

Retribution

In time you’ll drop dead, and I’ll come to your funeral in a red dress.

Find documents that contain a text string

I needed to find the string “set-aside” in all the old PowerPoint presentations that I had to find a chart that I knew existed.  I had our current resident expert, Eric FJ, help me find the incantation I was looking for.  Starting from my current base directory where the tree of documents existed:

grep -R 'set-aside' .

Thanks Eric!

Not a nice name, but a name

There’s a name for you ladies, but it isn’t used in high society, outside of a kennel.

She is a peacock in everything but beauty.
