Day 20,095
Monday night at the Ignite Conference in Orlando. I’m am a potato. Spent a lot more time on my feet today than I would’ve liked, but that’s part of the job. Tomorrow I’ll have more time on the Hands-On Lab floor, but I won’t have quite as much territory to cover now that I know where everything …

Greetings from mostly sunny Orlando. Today was the first day of the conference, as far as I’m concerned. Grabbed an Uber ride this morning, went over to IHOP for breakfast, then went over to the convention center. The Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, is one of the biggest convention centers in the world. We’ll …

Hey, how’s everybody doing? The old guy, coming to you from a smallish condo in Orlando, Florida. Tomorrow, I get over for the beginning of this Microsoft event. I think I’ve been to all but 3 or 4 of these since my first in 1996. It can be quite the spectacle. There are always big …

It’s Friday night. Tomorrow I get up at 4:15 and head to the airport, hop a flight to Orlando for what has become my regular annual sojourn to the Microsoft Conference that goes by the handle “Ignite”.

I’m tired, and punking out. Here’s a sonnet by an ancestor of mine, Henry Howard, the Earl of Surrey. The soote season, that bud and bloom forth brings, With green hath clad the hill and eke the vale; The nightingale with feathers new she sings; The turtle to her make hath told her tale. Summer is come, for every spray now springs, The …

Day 20,087
Hey gang, old fat, and now with “REPREHENSIBLE” character traits… it’s me, the now 55-year old guy that you might one day wonder about. I’m a happy man tonight. I’m 55. There were times over the last 40 years that I wondered if I would make it. When I was 19 and found out I had …

Hello, and good evening my future grandchildren. I pray you are well. It’s a Saturday night here in rural Douglas County. I’m watching the Ohio State/Texas Christian matchup while I ponder the fact that I’m 54, and tomorrow I turn 55. I’ve had a good day. I got up with my wife, enjoyed a solid …
