Good morning, folks! It is the first day of February in the Year of Our Lord 2023… otherwise, it’s 1 Feb 2023. A new month, a new set of goals, and new opportunity. I’m starting off this day with some gratitude. I have so much to be thankful for. Yesterday I renewed my certified trainer …

It is Tuesday morning, January 31st, the last day of the month, and, happily, payday. Today is going to be an interesting day. I started a new course yesterday, Pacific Standard Time rather than Eastern or Central, working with an old friend. I am a little worried that some of the folks taking this course …

Good morning, folks! It is Monday, 30 January 2023. I am back in my virtual classroom again this week, and my class is running on west coast time, so I’ve got a little more “morning” in my morning, with my class beginning at 11:00 AM, rather than the typical 8:00 (East Coast) or 9:00 (Central). …

It is Wednesday! 25 January 2023… and I just realized that I forgot to post something last night for work. Guess what I’m going to do just as soon as I’m done with this little blurb? Yesterday was a good day. I’m glad I wrote yesterday’s post about validation. I’m 59, and it’s about time …

Good morning… well, “good” might be subjective, but in my time zone, at least the concept of “morning” isn’t subject to debate. It is 5:53 AM in the midwest, this 24th day of January 2023, one week remaining in the first month of the year. For a few days now, a word has been at …

Monday! Monday! Monday! It is 23 January 2023, and as I have shared with you before, I usually write my blog during the week and take the weekend off. My sports fan weekend had mixed results, with Kansas coming up way short against TCU on Saturday’s early game, but the NFL playoff results went just …

It is Friday! The last day of this work week, 20 January 2023. There is a lot going on in the world this morning that is getting a little bit of my attention, everything from kids shooting teachers, Ukraine and the Russian conflict, the world economy, and various issues orbiting the topics of gender and …

Thursday morning, 19 January 2023. Yesterday was a scary day at work. My employer, a pretty good tech company, announced layoffs. That is never fun, and a lot of folks were on edge around the virtual workspace, and later in the day, I did discover a couple of my coworkers that I call friends were …
