Check out Nick Lowe rocking the bass in Carrack's backing band.

He also sang "How Long" by Ace (a classic) and "Tempted" by Squeeze.

Yesterday was not good here. Went for my three week post-op appointment for what was supposed to be my last visit with the retina specialist. But, he said my retina has detached again. He was clearly frustrated. Bonnie and I had a long talk with him. He encouraged us to get a second opinion if we want to. But he also said that we should get the next surgery done pretty quick. I just said fuck it. In for a penny, in for a pound. So, I have eye surgery again (sixth time this year) on Thursday. They are taking the lens out this time because it is so buggered up, in addition to laser surgery to remove the scar tissue that's been building up and causing the problem. And, injecting oil into the eye to hold the retina in place. They've previously made incisions into the retina with the lasers to make it lay down flat on the wall of the eye. The problem seems to be that new scar tissue keeps arising and pulling it away from the eye.

I feel like I've gone through all the stages of grief and now I'm just bummed out and resigned to it. Sorry to keep playing this violin for you.

I think that fits here. You got the grumpy old man thing going.

Anyway, I believe it’s User Control Panel - Board Preferences - Edit Notification Options.
