Day 21,491

19 July 2022. It is Tuesday morning. Today I’ll be monitoring the chat in the class I am co-delivering. I do like this security class, but I’ll be the first to admit that spending such a long time away from that course left a little dust on the books. Yesterday was not my “best day …

Day 21,490

18 July 2022. It is Monday morning, and there’s a mist hanging over my little corner of Douglas County, Kansas. I have a security course starting here a little later, an east coast delivery that kicks off a little earlier than the central time zone deliveries I usually have. Yesterday was a productive day. Right …

Day 21,488

16 July 2022, a warm Saturday night in the middle of summer. Dogs are outside on the deck, and I know Lisa is about to open the door and let them back in, so I’ll adopt a relaxed posture and write a little bit. I remember in college, I was taking English 101 with Nancy …

Day 21,487

It is 15 July 2022, a Friday morning, and my day is starting at a manageable pace. Lisa and I decided to go to a baseball game in nearby Baldwin last evening. My nephew, Keegan, has been spending part of his summer playing for the Baldwin City Blues baseball club, part of a league for …

Day 21,485

13 July 2022, a Wednesday morning, the sun rising in the east, and a pair of floofs sitting with me on the couch. I’ve got the news on, and they are reviewing some of the January 6th testimony. It still amazes me that 1) we really got that close to losing democracy on that dark …

Day 21,484

Welcome to 12 July 2022. It is a Tuesday, and as I look out the window, the sun rises in the east, and the clouds to the north of me are steadily moving from west to east. I probably ought to take a look at the weather forecast to see if I need to get …

Day 21,483

It is Monday, 11 July 2022. In a short while I will return to the sunroom and complete my preparations for this week’s delivery, a cloud admin course for a private customer. I’ve taken a couple weeks off of my meal plan, and I stepped on the scale this morning. It’s a little crazy how …

Day 21,481

Saturday! 9 July 2022. I will make more of an effort to adopt the date format used by more of the world. The metric system should be in there as well. I think the delayed adoption of the metric system is holding America back. I probably should adopt Celsius as my temperature format, too. It …

Day 21,480

It is Friday, July 8. I flipped on the news to hear the report of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated in Japan by a guy with a homemade gun. President Biden is signing something protecting abortion access today. So many states have already made just about every form of abortion illegal. It’s …

Day 21,478

It is Wednesday afternoon, July 6, 2022. I want to make something very clear to anybody reading this. I think Joe Biden is not perfect. I think he is flawed, and I think he has made mistakes. I still think he was a better choice than Trump, and I’m not going to change that opinion. …
