Quick update. Still waiting for the insurance pre-authorization at this point. (What is this, Canada? Yes, it's free - and we'll get that for you sometime in 2023 ... maybe.)
Installed Dragon 15 and using a Logitech noise cancelling microphone. Other than homonyms, it's doing fairly decently and it's learning to put words in context. I'm from Indiana, now live in Oklahoma, and I told it to watch for a US Southern accent when I installed it. Seems to be doing okay so far. Amazingly enough, it didn't have an issue on really tough words that I figured I'd have to spell. (Rostenkowksi - put it up there just like a champ. No comment at this time about WHY that Congressman's name came up.)
Amazon has finally given a release date of September 4th for the first new episodes of their series, 'The Boys'. I've been working on this novel for several years, and had this idea long before I ever knew of the comic or the series. Fortunately, Cal is not like Homelander, but ... the preview video on YouTube is vicious. If you can handle gore and haven't seen it, I recommend 'The Boys'. Serious language, intense drama, and gore. Lots of gore. (If you've ever wondered what would happen with an explosive device INSIDE someone, they show it. Fully.)
