Throwback voice recognition error when telling an app how my jog was: "right calf sore twerking."

I was not trying to twerk while jogging, though if I had been, I suppose I would have deserved a sword laugh -- ahem, that's "sore calf" -- at least.

Three years ago, a library I did a Zoom talk at mailed me an honorary library card, and it was the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I still use that card today to get audiobooks on Libby.

I've done hundreds of library talks since, and it's too awkward to ask if they'll give me an honorary card.
