Yesterday, I noticed in a previous post that Autocorrect changed the word accordion to according. As I fixed the post, I marveled at how much calmer I've become when such things happen. I used to erupt when I spotted that type of mistake. I'd pound on the desk, let out a string of profanity, and/or throw something on the floor or at the wall.
This time, however, I just said, "Grrrr...," made the necessary edit, and got on with life. I've reminded myself that occasional typos are inevitable when you churn out daily posts. Also, there are really no stakes here, as this is a free blog I'm writing largely for my own enjoyment.
I suppose I've mellowed--or just have reduced energy that comes with age.
Still, I want listeners to know about those virtuoso accordion performances. Hmmm...Maybe a happy medium is in order here. Maybe if I just uttered one profane word before editing a typo...
...No matter how old I get, I guess I'm still a work in progress.
