It is Monday morning, 17 October 2022. It is currently 6:19 AM, and I’m gathering up some thoughts in a little basket, normally used for collecting flowers. Nah. I don’t need a flower basket to gather my thoughts. My thoughts are rarely floral but tend to lean towards the aromatic side. I opened up Facebook …

Day 21,578
It is Friday! Woot! 14 October 2022. It’s a day with a quick start… I originally had a 7 AM meeting scheduled, but that has been cancelled. I’ve got another meeting this afternoon that I’m going to cancel in light of certain changes. Tight now I’m watching internal Capitol video from the January 6, 2021 …

Day 21,577
It is Thursday, 13 October 2022, and in another couple of hours, I will be discussing data ingestion into cloud-based data management tools. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it? Yesterday some news happened. To start off, let me say that I’ve often been party to repeating or even creating conspiracy theories. When I was in college, I …

It is Wednesday morning, the 12th day of October, 2022. I’m up, coffee is brewing, and I have a glass of water sitting beside me… … and my wife is asleep on the couch. We had some storms roll through last night, so she came out from our bedroom to the living room and provided …

Day 21,575
Good morning! It is 11 October 2022, and I’m feeling a little relieved this morning. I was up a little later than normal last night, as the Kansas City Chiefs hosted the Raiders (what city are they in this year?). It was a rough start, with the Chiefs dropping behind the pace early, and the …

Day 21,574
It is Monday, 10 October 2022. It has been an event-free weekend here in rural Douglas County, with the regular college town stuff happening, but nothing earth-shattering here. Kansas lost their football game against TCU, which wasn’t that much of a surprise. Our quarterback was taken out of the game following a hard tackle that …

It is Friday, Friday, Friday! Good morning! It is the 7th day of October in the year 2022. I’m awake, drinking water until I pour my first cup of coffee. I’ve got an office hours session after a bit here, and I’m wondering where the morning will take me. Eventually, it takes me to meetings …

Day 21,570
It is Thursday morning, 6 October 2022. It’s kind of funny, but when I get into one of my four-week deliveries, the days jut some to click by a little faster on the calendar. This morning I will have my last major speaking role of the week, delivering a talk on Computer Services and the …

Day 21,569
It is Wednesday, 5 October 2022. Up early, getting ready for my day, and watching the news. Right now they are reporting on the 5 Oath Keepers that are being tried for sedition charges related to the attempted overthrow of the government on January 6, 2020. Based on what I hear in the recorded conversations, …

Day 21,568
Good morning! It is Tuesday, 4 October 2022. I’m up early, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and ready for my first session, which will start in about an hour and 45 minutes from now. I do love my job. One of the best parts is the opportunity to work with other instructors that have a different style …
