Mutter, mutter

I dreamt about the dread book last night. This morning it finally began unspooling in my mind.
My shoulders are set solid.
The Dragon headphone batteries are flat.
Bah, humbug, operation of the law of s*d...

What are "the Dragon headphones?" Just curious.

It's the headset for Dragon Dictate.

You dictate your books? I am amazed.

I only do it occasionally, when my shoulders are causing trouble. I much prefer not to, though.

I hope the unspooling is the right kind...thread unwinding helpfully. Sorry about the shoulders. We all seem to be creaking and groaning - Pod had a back spasm and Sarah has some nasty lower back thang.
What is the Dragon?

Dragon Naturally Speaking: it's software that allows you to dictate rather than type. Very clever: I only use it occasionally but it's a life-saver sometimes.

It sounds really good - there are many times when I wish I had a dictaphone!
