I hope you are well this morning. It is 18 January 2023, a warmer-than-average (39 degrees F) Wednesday morning, the sun still hiding below the eastern horizon at 5:52 AM. I get up early. OK, a recap from yesterday – I have some sort of winter cold, and yesterday I was sneezing and my nose …

Day 21,673
Hello. Today is 17 January 2023, and at 5:54 AM, I am up, awake, and considering my coffee options for the morning. I’m back in my virtual classroom discussing Infrastructure as a Service in about two hours – ok, truth – class starts in two hours, and I’ll be in the virtual classroom in another …

Day 21,672
It is not your average Monday, the 16th day of January 2023. Today is also the Martin Luther King holiday in America, and I think today would be a good day to focus on Diversity and Inclusion. I’ll be spending a portion of my day reading books on the subject. I’ve also decided today will …

Day 21,669
It is Friday! End of the work week, the beginning of the weekend, and it’s Friday the 13th. I hope that last line doesn’t prove to be foreboding. Yesterday was an interesting mix. Sadly, one celebrity died, a woman who was never really going to get a chance to just be herself – Lisa Marie …

Day 21,668
It is Thursday morning, 12 January 2023, and I hope I had a good rest last night. I know I woke several times in the middle of the night, but I feel like I dropped right back off after I had those nocturnal strolls. I’ll get a feel for the quality of my sleep about …

Day 21,667
11 January 2023. Eleven days into the new year, and I’m still kicking. I’ll consider that a minor victory. Last month I had a case of COVID. Stuff got me down. Whoops, I type that just as I see that there is an FAA outage that is grounding flights across the US. Looks like somebody …

Day 21,666
Good morning, folks. It’s a Tuesday, early, just a couple of minutes after 6:00 AM, on this 10 January 2023. I still am not accustomed to writing ‘2023’ when writing the year. I’ll probably get comfortable with it sometime in late December. It’s 2023, and most people I know still aren’t over 2020. The college …

Day 21,665
Good morning, folks! It is 9 January 2023, and I have small dogs using my body as a free-form trampoline. In Brazil, supporters of ousted billionaire president Bolsinaro have stormed the capitol and the presidential palace. 400 people were arrested. I wonder where this Trump wannabe crowd got the idea this would be a good …

Day 21,662
It’s Friday folks, and I hope you all are closing out the work with a smile, and have some fun planned for this first full weekend of 2023. Today is 6 January 2023. OK, so a little recap from earlier in the week. On Monday night, about 9 minutes into the first quarter, Buffalo Bills …

Day 21,661
It is Thursday, 5 January 2023, and I am up and ready to get after it. One big glass of water down, one on deck, and a few more scheduled for ingestion. OK, this little corner of the world today. We had an election last November, and the GOP has taken control of the house. …
