It is Friday, the last day of my work week, and the 21st day of January, 2022. I woke up this morning to the sad news that Meat Loaf, born Marvin Aday, has passed. This is sad news to me. His role in “Rocky Horror Picture Show” was a debut, but his album “Bat Out …

Day 21,311
It is Thursday, January 20, 2022. It is ten minutes past six in the morning, and the coffee maker has just made that gurgling, bubbling sound to let me know that the carafe is full of my preferred morning beverage, coffee made with freshly ground medium-roast Tanzanian Peaberry. There’s lots of talk about the economy, …

Day 21,310
It is Wednesday morning, January 19, 2022. It’s fairly relaxed around here, and thoughts have turned to having COVID tests at hand just in case. The Biden administration has implemented a program to provide millions of tests for US citizens so we can all get a better grasp on this pandemic. Let’s hope it opens …

Day 21,309
It is Tuesday, January 18, 2022. Time for me to get in my expense report for the month. I hope you are well. More and more people are not. There have been multiple school closings around the state due to COVID outbreaks, and now I’m watching talking heads on TV debating whether progressives should apologize …

Day 21,308
It is Monday morning, January 17, 2022. It’s going to be a day. On the plus side, it’s a national holiday, a day of remembrance for perhaps the greatest civil rights leader in US history, Martin Luthor King. Also on the plus side, the Chiefs knocked off the Steelers and likely sent Ben Roethlisberger riding …

Day 21,307
It is Sunday, January 16, 2022. I have a cup of coffee clearly in need of a refill, so that may be the ultimate limiting factor in determining the length of this blog post. I’m going to try and give my brain a day off. I say that and I immediately turn to the topics …

Day 21,306
Had to double-check my days… in the past I’ve often popped in the wrong day (how many days I’ve been alive), but I have made it a regular task to go check my “How many days have you been alive” page at imrodmartin.com. 58 years and change. With more change to come, I guess. It’s …

Day 21,305
Today is Friday, January 14, 2022. Watching some of the news and it’s all gloom and doom. Kind of got me thinking, and I’m going to start off with a story about lemmings. Back in the 50’s, Disney was very good at making nature documentaries. It dove-tailed very well with their family-friendly movies and television …

Day 21,304
Good morning! It is Thursday, January 13, 2022. Today is the last day of my new course delivery, and next week, I get to do it all over again. Regarding my post the other day when I was a bit “under it”, meaning the weather. I had an old friend reach out to me in …

Day 21,303
It is Wednesday morning, January 12, 2022. I’m breathing a little easier today. Yesterday I delivered the first day of a new class, and it went OK. I’ll be the first to admit that I was dealing with some anxiety (as well as being under the weather), but we got through the day just fine …
