Hello! I hope this Monday has risen up to you and lifted you even higher! That was a little weird. I need to put a little more effort into the openings. I don’t think I’ll be using that particular opening again anytime soon. But, that’s what this is about, exploring the language a bit, and …

Day 19,954
Sitting at home on a Sunday night, Lisa done with her work, and me thinking about the class I’m teaching tomorrow, the 2nd week of the Exchange 2016 course. It’s been a little while, but for me, teaching Exchange is a little like riding a bike. I have, after all, been teaching Microsoft email packages …

Day 19,953
It’s a Saturday afternoon here in rural Douglas County, and we’ve got people movin’ around here. Well, everybody except me at the moment. We’ve been scrambling a bit today, settling this minor crisis or that minor crisis. Lisa had received notifications that she had two packages on the porch, deliveries of some goods she had ordered …

Day 19,952
It’s Friday, May the Fourth in rural Douglas County. I have had a busy day. I started off the day finishing out my Azure class. Today we discussed automation in Azure, covering runbooks, checkpoints, and more sophisticated monitoring of workflows in Microsoft’s cloud environment. Pretty cool stuff. I stuck around a little bit after to …

Day 19,951
Thursday, just before lunch, and of course I am involved in an online discussion about issues of the day, and I come across some bumpkin that doesn’t understand the meaning of the word “literally”. How do you explain to somebody that they haven’t any sort of grasp of the meaning of a word like “literally”? …

Day 19,950
Back to writing a little earlier in the day. I have to admit, there is a little bit of piece of mind that comes from getting my post done. It’s not like I put a lot of pressure on myself to get it done, but it is nice that I can go home after work …

Day 19,949
It’s late on Tuesday morning, and I’m writing at work, getting this new entry started before we break for lunch here. My students are in the middle of a lab, covering things like load balancing and desired-state configuration on virtual machines being created and hosted in Microsoft’s cloud, called Azure. It’s a neat course, but it …

Day 19,948
It’s Monday night here in rural Douglas County, and I’m here to take a few moments and drop off a little note to the future. Today I started one of the most interesting and challenging classes of my career. I have a total of twelve students. That in itself isn’t the most challenging part. I’ve …

Day 19,947
It’s been a Sunday here in rural Douglas County, kids, and the old folks are at home. Tomorrow I return to the comfortable confines of Centriq Training, prepared to teach the basics of Microsoft Azure Cloud services. Around here, it’s been a day of mowing and weed remediation, with a little bit of bug repellent …

Day 19,946
Not having the best of days, so I’m going to crank this out and head back to bed. This morning while I was sitting at breakfast, I felt the “slip”. I went from having a pretty normal day to having a painful late morning, afternoon and evening. Something moved in my back, and I’ve been …
