It is a slow Sunday morning, this 6th day of February, 2022. Lisa and I are watching mixed doubles curling. It’s not the most exciting sport to watch on the face of the planet, but I do appreciate the finesse and strategy. Some serious physics happening on these lanes. The talking heads were on TV …

It is a beautiful Saturday morning, the 5th of February, 2022. It’ll be a slower-paced day, with a little basketball this afternoon, and a dinner plan that includes some new cooking tools we have yet yo take out of the box. I’m watching the news, and hearing about the GOP censuring two of their own, …

It is Friday (Happy Friday, Everybody!). It is the 4th day of February, 2022, and the folks on the morning news are talking about good news in the January jobs report with 467,000 new jobs. Good news is always welcome, and this news is, apparently, quite a surprise. I wonder if people believe all of …

It is Thursday morning, February 3, 2022. I’ve got a big puppy on my legs and two smaller ones off to my left wrestling and snarling at each other in mock battle. What will the day bring? Well, you can pretty much bet that somebody famous will say something reprehensible, and somebody that nobody ever …

Good morning, everyone! It is Wednesday, February 2, 2022. It is Groundhog Day, and the folks in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania are on the lookout for Phil… either in the form of a groundhog or in the visage of Bill Murray, who is probably around there somewhere. Watched some sports last night with a degree of trepidation… …

One of the things I meant to do when I started writing this blog was to pass along my point of view on certain events of the day to my grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and any other interested parties. Yesterday …

It is Monday, January 31, 2022. The sun is going to come up, and I’m going to teach a cloud security course for a relatively small number of attendees, but that’s OK. It doesn’t really matter to me how many show up, the more the merrier, but so long as I have at least one, …

It is Sunday, January 30, 2022, and I am in a pretty good place right now. I stepped on the scale this morning and I’ve dropped 15 pounds for the month of January. The trip isn’t over, likely never will be, but this month has been generally positive. I got on my meal plan, stuck …

Thanks to @imrodmartin, I know that this is the 21,320th day for me on this mortal coil. It is Saturday, January 29th, 2022. Today would’ve been my dad’s 81st birthday. I talked to him a bit this morning, hoping to feel his presence in some fashion… and that presence was there, in me. It’s part …

It is Friday, January 28, 2022. Tomorrow would have been my dad’s 81st birthday, and I’ll spend a little time with him on my mind. I sent my mom a little something to mark the occasion, and will do the same when my folks’ (and my) anniversary falls next month. I’ve got a busy day …
