Day 21,348
It is Saturday, February 26, 2022. There is still war in Ukraine. I’ve seen charts on the internet marking off lost lives, lost tanks, lost aircraft, like war is some sort of sports competition and we need to keep score. Makes me wonder if scoreboards evolved from Napoleon’s butcher’s bill. Steps are being taken to …

Day 21,347
It is Friday, February 25, the 21347th day of my existence on this plane. I’ve got some meetings in a bit, but right now I’m going to gather my thoughts on what’s going on in the world. Russia has invaded Ukraine, the largest mobilization of ground forces in Europe since World War II. The president …

Day 21,346
It is Thursday, February 23rd, 2022, and the Russians are poring over the border of Ukraine, as a “peacekeeping force”. Ah, the old, “We need to kill some people in the name of peace” argument. It is not a good day to be a Ukrainian citizen today. I need to check on a couple of …

Day 21,345
It is Wednesday, February 23, 2022. Putin is invading the “breakaway” regions of Ukraine – basically, places where Russian has financed a separatist movement and is now rolling tanks in support of those movements. The only folks Russian-state TV will show are those that are happy with the invasion when other reporters say that the …

Day 21,344
It is Twosday… 02 22 2022, or if you go European reckoning, 22022022… which is a palindrome, the same forward and backward, and in this case, also upside down. That and six bucks will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. I’ve got the coffee going, and my second glass of water at the …

Day 21,343
It is Monday the 21st of February, and President’s Day, a federal holiday, and for me, a paid day off from work. I will do some things that are relaxing, and I’ll get some work in, too, just to better prepare for the classes I’ll be delivering down the road. I need to take a …

Day 21,342
It is Sunday morning, February 20, 2022, and today we will say goodbye to the snow that fell on Wednesday and Thursday. It’s not 8:00 in the morning yet, and the temperature has risen to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, on the way to an expected high in the 60’s. The snow won’t last the day. It’s …

Day 21,340
It’s Friday, February 18, 2022. I’m writing a little later in the day, just after noon, as I enjoy a break from my low-carb mealplan to do a reset after a detectable stall in my weight loss. When I started this, I was counting days, and I worked from an assumption that I had about …

Day 21,339
This is Thursday, February 17, 2022, and today is my mom & dad’s wedding anniversary as well as Lisa and my anniversary. How this brilliant woman put up with my jokes and other mistakes for 26 years, I have no idea. Marriage isn’t always easy, but she has made it pretty easy for me. Have …

Day 21,338
It is Wednesday morning, February 16, and the newspaper has yet to arrive, and likely won’t before we all have to get going on our workday. It’s becoming a trend. Odin is over by Lisa begging for food, attention, or both. He’s spoiled rotten because he not only gets treats and eats his treats, he …
