It is Monday, January 31, 2022. The sun is going to come up, and I’m going to teach a cloud security course for a relatively small number of attendees, but that’s OK. It doesn’t really matter to me how many show up, the more the merrier, but so long as I have at least one, …

Day 21,321
It is Sunday, January 30, 2022, and I am in a pretty good place right now. I stepped on the scale this morning and I’ve dropped 15 pounds for the month of January. The trip isn’t over, likely never will be, but this month has been generally positive. I got on my meal plan, stuck …

Day 21,320
Thanks to @imrodmartin, I know that this is the 21,320th day for me on this mortal coil. It is Saturday, January 29th, 2022. Today would’ve been my dad’s 81st birthday. I talked to him a bit this morning, hoping to feel his presence in some fashion… and that presence was there, in me. It’s part …

Day 21,319
It is Friday, January 28, 2022. Tomorrow would have been my dad’s 81st birthday, and I’ll spend a little time with him on my mind. I sent my mom a little something to mark the occasion, and will do the same when my folks’ (and my) anniversary falls next month. I’ve got a busy day …

Day 21,318
This is the 21,318th day of existence as an independent human being on this plane of existence. It is January 27, 2022, a partially overcast day in rural Douglas County, Kansas, with the sun peaking through a quilt of clouds in the sky. I mean, where else would the clouds be anyway? I am enjoying …

Day 21,317
It is Wednesday, January 26, 2022. I double-checked my day count on Rod Martin’s website. I know the average person can expect a lifetime of pretty close to 30,000 days. Let’s make this one count, shall we? I was kind of stuck this morning pondering what I wanted to write about. Thought about how I’ve …

Day 21,316
It is Tuesday morning, and I am a bit tired, once again. (It’s January 25, 2022) Last night there was another game, a KU basketball game, hosting a very determined Texas Tech squad hellbent on becoming the third team in Bill Self’s tenure at Kansas to sweep the regular-season series. Double overtime. KU wins, but …

Day 21,315
It is Monday morning, January 24, 2022. There were times last night that I was pretty positive that I would not be sleeping well… like the time I looked up at the end of the 4th quarter of the Chiefs-Bills game, saw the Bills up by 3, and a scant 13 seconds left in the …

Day 21,314
Good morning. It is Sunday, January 23, 2022. My daughter is asleep on the couch, as she apparently was woken up early by her dog, Ruthie. Right now the other five pooches (yes, I did not mistype that… 5… Lucy, Freya, Odin, Rosy, & Lily) are just going about their mornings, getting underfoot and begging …

Day 21,313
It is Saturday morning, January 22, 2022, and I am starting my day with coffee, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Threw back two big glasses of water while my coffee was brewing, and I am sated. Sometimes I start off the day with news, right up until they get to some update on the pandemic and …
