Evie Day 120 Good morning and happy Friday, everybody! It is 14 July 2023. And because the 15th falls on a Saturday, it is also payday! Woot! Life is a series of minor victories. Today is the last day of class this week. I have a two-hour office hours session starting in about two hours, …

Evie Day 119 Hi everybody! Today is 13 July 2023. It’s a Thursday. I started to watch the US versus Panama last evening in the semi-final of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, but I stepped away about 8:00 PM to go game online with some friends, so I just fired up the DVR and am into …

Evie Day 118 Good morning everybody! Today is 12 July 2023. It’s Wednesday. I started my new four-week course yesterday, and all-in-all I think things went well. There are still some folks dealing with the challenges of local policies and VPN connections that prevent them from gaining access to some of the tools we use …

Evie Day 117 Good morning, folks! It is 11 July 2023, and it is Tuesday… which means tonight, there will be tacos. I like a little structure in my life. Today I get back into one of my favorite “structures”, for my time anyway, as I dive back into a four-week course on cloud administration. …

Evie Day 116 Good morning! It is Monday, 10 July 2023. This feels more like the beginning of the new fiscal year than July 1st did, but there’s a reason for that. July 1 fell on a Saturday, and I took that week off anyway, so this really is the first working Monday of my …

Evie Day 113 Good morning! Today is 7 July 2023, and the last “work day” of my vacation. I’ve still got a weekend to look forward to, but Monday is looming… and that’s just fine. I’ve got a cup of coffee, and I’m watching the news. Apparently, the special counsel investigating the alternative electors that …

Evie Day 112 Good morning! It is Thursday, 6 July 2023. Today is the 4th workday of my vacation. I got some things done yesterday. I went to NFM (Nebraska Furniture Mart, for the unindoctrinated) and picked up a dumbell rack that I had ordered, then worked in a side trip to Costco to get …

Evie Day 111 Hi folks, it is Wednesday, 5 July 2023. I slept in a little bit this morning, my second vacation workday this week – yesterday was a holiday, not a vacation day – it’s important to recognize the difference. Later today, I am going to get out of the house. I saw Nebraska …

Evie Day 110 Hi folks! It is a national holiday in the United States, as today is the 4th of July. A long, long time ago, my seventh great-grandfather, Benjamin Harrison V, signed the Declaration of Independence. I’d like to shake his hand for that, then kick him in the nuts because he thought it …
