Going Back To 2017
I realize that 2020 has been a shitty year with COVID-19 and such, but do I really want to go back to 2017?
Uh, no.

Subject: What's common between Seinfeld and VBA + Limited Time Offer
Today is Friday, September 22, 2017. Now, keep that date in mind because, below, it will be important. This is the rest of the email:
I am sure you have heard of Seinfeld.
It was (and still is) a popular sitcom that aired during the 1990s.
The protagonist and creator Jerry Seinfeld quickly became a household name and one of the highest paid actors.
And as all good things come to an end, Seinfeld show ended in 1998.
But what's interesting is what happened after the show ended.
Once a TV show ends, every time there is a re-run, the creators get paid.
This has resulted in an income of more than USD 3.1 billion for the show so far (just by reruns).
Jerry Seinfeld, who is the co-creator of the show, has pocketed more than USD 400 million till date. Apart from this, he gets a cut whenever DVDs of the show are sold.
The paychecks keep coming in even after 19 years since the show ended.
Now, what has it got to do with VBA?
While Seinfeld created the show, he saw immediate gains in popularity and income. But the benefits didn't stop when the show ended. It continued to bring him work and paychecks.
Now, what if you can do something that will continue to reap benefits in the future?
While I can't talk about other parts of your life, but when it comes to Excel, VBA can enable you to do this.
Using VBA, you can easily automate tasks. All you need to do is invest the time to learn it and then create a useful macro. Once created, it can be reused over and over again.
And every time you use it, it saves you time.
To give you an example, if you create something that saves you 5 minutes every day, that will result in more than 30 hours of time saved every year.
Imagine how much time you can save if you create multiple such macros.
With VBA:
• You can save tons of time by automating tasks and data analysis.
• You can create your own functions and add-ins. This allows you to get those things done that may not be possible with Excel's inbuilt functions and features.
• You look smart (who doesn't want that?). It's a skill that is in high-demand by the employers, and makes you stand out from the crowd.
If you would like to learn VBA, I recommend you check out my Excel VBA course.
>> Click here to join the Excel VBA Course << The course closes for enrollment on September 19, 2017 (11:59 Pacific time)
With this VBA course, you get: • 10+ hours of VBA learning • Downloadable videos that you can download and watch from any device (without internet). • Downloadable example files used during the recording of the course. • Bonus: Access to Useful VBA Code Library • Bonus: VBA Toolkit for Dashboards This course is meant for VBA beginners. So even if you a complete newbie and have no idea what VBA is, you will be able to reap benefits from this course. I offer this course only a couple of times in a year. Once closed it will not be offered in 2017 again (no exceptions). It is a self-paced course so you can enroll and learn whenever you have time. I am also offering this course at a 20% OFF the regular fee. I can't guarantee that the price wouldn't go up the next time (as I continue to add more bonuses and videos to the course). >> Click here to join the Excel VBA Course <<

Only Pricks from IL can Fly
The date that was specified in the movie "Back to the Future Part II" has arrived. Two articles
discuss the movie's vision of 2015. In the movie, there were flying cars on 10/21/2015, but on the real 10/21/2015, the only cars flying is the asshole with the IL license plate that tried to go around me yesterday. I'm in the left lane, he's in the right. There's a sign that says "Right Lane Closed Ahead." Instead of slowing down to get behind me, the asshole accelerates and tries to zip in front of me. Despite being in our brand new 2016 Chevy Equinox (the "E" from now on), I didn't let him in. When he was parallel with me, I looked that son of a bitch in the eyes and gave him a one finger salute. As I fumed, alone in the E, I found myself in a fit of road rage. I said aloud, "You asshole. You may drive like a prick in IL, but in downtown Iowa City, your style of driving is not going to fly. Go f**k yourself."
Anyways, there you go. Only pricks from IL can fly.
Ironically, I just read about road rage in NM that resulted in the death of a 4 year-old little girl. Here is the story but you have to click this link.

Marty McFly's 2015 is Not My 2015
From my Fox News First newsletter:
It is finally 2015, that far off exotic time that Marty McFly transported to in the 1989 classic, “Back the Future II”. The Atlantic compares the future McFly expected to find in 2015 to what really exists. Many of the technological predictions in the film came true in varying degrees however two key components missed were the development of Internet and the evolution of mobile phone technology. Cell phones didn’t exist in the film instead featuring banks of phone booths. The internet didn’t seem to exist in the film at least not in the individualized devices as expected today. JVC glasses are pretty close cousins to today’s Google Glass though not nearly as mobile as the Google device. Fax machines dominated business communication in the film, a technology that is just about obsolete today. To their credit, the filmmakers did accurately predict a smart watch, flat screen televisions and facial recognition technology. Society has yet to see the Hoverboards and flying cars featured in the film but have no fear there is still time as McFly didn’t go to the future until 4:29 pm on Wednesday October 21, 2015.

Waited for the Third Strike to be Called....and it Delivered
I had three serious strikes called against me yesterday afternoon.
I was watching "Bruce Almighty" on USA. Before I divulge the misery of my day, how can you not get sucked into Jim Carrey doing stuff like this? Then, there's his work in the movie "Liar Liar" which is totally funny.
Back to Bruce Almighty, eh, which was to be over by 3:30, which would be perfect, as I would then have enough time to get ready to leave by 4-ish and we would not be late for 5:15 Mass.
Unfortunately, I got the urge to have one of my wife's cookies that are in the big freezer in the garage. I went out to the garage, got the cookies and, noticing the garage door was open, I hit the button to close it.
Make sure, if you have a truck with a topper that the topper is closed when you close the garage door. Otherwise, it may catch on the garage door and bend the bracket.
Of all the stupid things to do. Strike one.
The topper now does not line up correctly and will have to be taken to the topper place in West Branch to have them look at it. There's a slight possibility that one of my brothers-in-law or my father-in-law will have the bright idea that fixes it when we are in Balltown over Christmas.
If I look back to how my day started, I could easily call a strike before 7 AM. I had made an appt with Dave @ Linder Tire to look at putting the spare tire winch that my father-in-law found on our van as well as to investigate the drops of oil on our garage floor that are coming from the van.
We did not take it over Friday night so it had to be taken over Saturday AM. I said that I would walk home - it's a 10 minute walk and I've done it before - but my wife insisted getting up and going with me. Strike two occurred not on the ride over or on the way back. It occurred when Dave called to say that they had put the new spare tire winch on the van. The drops of oil, though, were because of a casket leak and it was going to run $300 to fix it. Right there - strike 2.
However, Dave said, it was a 4 hour job and would have to be done during the week, not today. Still, a $300 car bill around the holidays is a strike. It's awful.
Later, I was assigned the job of taking the kids to the rec center so Karen could wrap presents and so we decided to pick up the van on the way over. When I went in to pay my labor bill for looking at it ($68), I asked Dave more about what needed to be done. It's not a big deal, I can still drive the van. I asked if it could be done after Christmas. Dave replied that he was going to be gone from Christmas to New Year's so we should try to do it after New Year's. So at least it seemed like a partial strike. Maybe a delayed strike as sooner or later, $300 will hit me.
It should have been a relaxing Saturday night 5:15 Mass in the sense that I would allow God to take away all my everyday worries and to just take an hour to relax in His grace. Playing drums for him normally calms me and puts a serenity over my body as I hit the beat and with Judy, the Music Minister, playing piano, we sound good. Keith plays bass and he locks in as well so as a trio, we're sounding pretty good after playing together pretty much weekly since September. Tonight, we get through all our songs and are about to begin the last song. I start playing 4/4 time but... the piece isn't written in 4/4. Judy looks over her shoulder with this puzzled look, like what are you doing? Then I recall, oh. This song is in 3/4. So I picked up on the correct meter and kept playing. In itself, it's not a big deal but tripled with the day that I had and the way things had gone for prior to arriving at Mass, it was the big climax of a day I can only see as negative.
But moving on...
The day turned out okay, I guess. We stopped at Hy-Vee, got a pizza - which was coming out of the oven when we walked in so I asked to have it boxed and I'd take it home. It was truly ideal timing. We watched "Back to the Future Part II" and the kids caught on to the space time continuum and how 1985 didn't look like 1985 that they left and blah blah blibby blah. I attempted to stay awake and work on a schedule for getting all my work done - 8 weeks and that doesn't include projects that haven't arrived in QA yet, including the rewrite of the systems project I've been talking about for months - but that bored me since I didn't have any paperwork to look at - just a daunting calendar and no clear idea when stuff has to be done.
So I fell asleep and my wife fell asleep and the kids took themselves up to bed and I was in bed before our Christmas lights timer turned off the lights for the night @ 10. Kind of a boring Saturday night to cap off an exciting Saturday day.
Now, I need to get showered and go to 11 AM Mass. I have a noon rehearsal with the orchestra that is playing Christmas Eve so I told Judy I might as well come and play @ 11 AM Mass. Going to an extra Mass seems like the right thing to do, especially today when I look back on how much worse my day could have gone.
I could have snapped the entire door off the topper.
I could have had a $300 bill yesterday.
I could have continued playing in 4/4 for the entire duration of the 3/4 song.
It may not seem like luck was on my side and that's fine. I have hope that God was and He helped me through some of it.
