I've got a psychologist friend who retired at 65. When he started thinking about drinking again (he's been sober for a long time), he decided to go back to work part-time. He works 3-4 hours 3 days a week, making enough money to keep himself in bicycle gear (he rides a $5K carbon fiber roadie). He's told me more than once, quit your day job if you want, but find something useful to do with your time.

Amen brother. Life is energy, which is motion. Stagnation causes all sorts of issues. If you don't have something to wake up for... soon you won't be waking up. Real talk.

That cool girl from Brazil has checked out at 83. Her recording of The Girl from Ipanema with Stan Getz is just unforgettable.

Agreed. Sad for us oldies to see familiar names leave us. Saw Stan Getz in concert about a hundred years ago.

I saw Getz live in Stockholm, 1989. Great gig. When the boats in the harbour just behind the scene heard his final tone, they honked back, and an improvised "conversation" energed!

Absolutely great song, which I first heard somewhere around 1963 while moored in San Pedro (Los Angeles) docks.

Hadn't thought much about it until I started getting more into graphic "transforms" and trying to keep the terminology "correct". I found this style guide useful.

I was talking about the corner of a rectangle. That's about as much as I will say about who or what's "right".

What if the rectangle identifies as a triangle?
Ok, I'll shut up now.

That's a polygon ... and it still has "top and left" coordinates, width and height. As does an ellipse. i.e. You always have to be aware of the virtual "bounding box" no matter how often you rotate, translate, skew or scale.
