It is Sunday morning, 31 July 2022. I am awake, I have a cup of coffee, and I’m going to pound out the last blog entry of my vacation. I received my second booster on Friday. Yesterday I didn’t get much done, and to be honest, I don’t know whether my lack of motivation was …

It is Friday, 29 July 2022. Last vacation day of the work week. I still have tomorrow and Sunday to kick back a little bit before I resume the regular work days on Monday.

Day 21,497
It is Monday morning, 25 July 2022. I have laundry going, a fresh pot of coffee, and an empty bowl next to me that used to contain a couple of scrambled eggs topped with cheese and leftover chili. I am being semi-productive at a moment I don’t really need to be productive, so I’ll call …

Day 21,496
Sunday morning, 24 July 2022. I was thinking about how you never see a group of professors criticizing the way semi-tractor trailer drivers drive. Most of the professors I know, and I know a few through my wife (who is a professor) have an awareness of expertise – a self-awareness as well as a situational …

Day 21,494
22 July 2022. It is Friday morning. The trash has been taken out to the road, and meetings start in an hour and a half, plenty there to keep me busy through 2 o’clock… then Bubba gets to take some time to close out the business on the table and prepare for Gracie’s birthday celebration …

Day 21,493
Good morning! It is 21 July 2022, a Thursday morning, the sun is rising, and the coffee is brewing. Yesterday I planned on having a good day. Some parts went pretty well, I think my delivery was generally positive, but at some point right after lunch, I came to a realization. I need to get …

20 July 2022. It is Wednesday, and a day I have been looking forward to for most of the year – today is my last full delivery day before I take my first week of vacation this year. I have a tendency to focus on work for the first six months of the calendar year, …
