Or Ace.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I could have gone with "Seven of Diamonds" and no-one would have got it today, I think! 
Well ... I liked it.

What a loss. Sad news indeed.
Meat Loaf dead, singer of 'Bat Out of Hell' was 74[^]
latest update: according to TMZ.com he was battling COVID and died from COVID related issues.
I read the article and it does not say for certain that he died from COVID. However, he was in a critical state from COVID at time of death, so TMZ is assuming he died from COVID, which is probably true. The article also implies that he may have had personal issues with the vaccine and may have not been vaccinated. No confirmation about this yet.
All of this still does not take away from his musical greatness and life. Still amazingly sad for me that he has passed.
Meat Loaf Dead at 74 from COVID[^]

He's not exactly from my generation, so I've been mostly a closeted fan. But a fan I am. First heard of him when Bat II came out, and I own all of his albums. Including a few unofficial ones.

The subways are steaming and the skin of the street is gleaming with sweat
I've seen you sitting on the steps outside
And you were looking so restless and reckless and lost
I think it's time for you to come inside
And I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget

I never learned to "Touch Type". I am tired of "Hunt and Peck" method I am using currently.
Do you know of a program that I can use to teach myself how to touch type?

I taught myself touch typing when I was 18 or so on a Commodore Business Machine. It took a couple weeks, but the rule was, never look at the keyboard. If I made a mistake, find the backspace key and find the right key, without looking. The only thing I allowed myself to do was, before starting any typing session, stare at the keyboard for a minute or so and visualize typing different words and where the letters were.
At the end of the first week I was proficient enough, and by the second week I never needed to look at the keyboard. Since then, I can look at any (US) keyboard for a few minutes and adapt quickly.

Notepad.
Dunno if it is the same, but we had to learn "blind" typing in school. The first exercise was to type from paper without looking at the keyboard. Anything you can read without looking at the keyboard goes.
You'll need a good keyboard tough; you need to feel "f" and "j".

I used "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing" - but back then it was a Windows 3 app.
The latest version is Win 10, but I have no idea how good it might or might not be!

I learned how to type on a manual type writer in junior high school. At my best I could type 65-70 words per minute.
I still type very fast, but not as accurate.
I would search Google for the best typing tutor software, etc. if I were you.
