On the Third Hour of the Today Show featured a Tool Library in Chicago fueled by donations of everything from standard handyman tools to camping equipment to KitchenAid mixers! This has prompted some members to find new vocations and/avocations or having new experiences without initially investing in the new equipment expense. The library charges an annual on what one can pay and offered fees have ranged from $2 to $100.

Happy International Mahjong Day, y'all!

I don't know if any of you were like me, but I hated that I lost the Windows 7 games when I took the free upgrade to Windows 10. Shortly after that, a Microsoft MVP member from Microsoft Community loved the Windows 7 games especially Mahjong like I did and came up with a Windows 7 Game package to download which solved that problem.

I still play Mahjong along with Free Cell, Spider Solitaire and Hearts. I don't know if the download works with Windows 11, but it certainly does with Windows 10. I've had a high score of 762 since 2022 with Mahjong, and I have yet to match or beat that score since then.

Here's a link to the article and where the Windows 7 Games can be downloaded.

Happy playing, y'all!

Well it's good news for my family so not sure if I should post here but my daughter's play is premiering in Toronto this fall at Theatre Passe Muraille! She is still an undergrad in Drama and English here at U of T but after winning best production at Dramafest at Hart House theatre U of T she was given the opportunity to have her play presented as part of Theatre Passe Muraille's 2025-26 season.

Very exciting for her!
