Good morning! I’m looking at the clock, and it is just a scant few minutes before 6:00 AM this Wednesday, 4 January 2023. I’ve got y class starting at 8:00 AM, so I’ve got a little time to get my thoughts, act, and shit together. Coffee will start brewing in a few, and then I’ll …

Day 21,659
That day has arrived… 3 January 2023… the first full work-day of the year. I had to take care of a couple of things yesterday, but that doesn’t really count. OK, something timely to post. I know that what I write is read by a few eyes, and my intent is to write down stuff …

Day 21,658
When is Monday not a Monday? When it’s the first Monday of the year following a New Year’s Day that lands on a Sunday. Yesterday would’ve been a paid holiday for many workers in the US, but as it fell on a weekend, today is that paid holiday. Also, as college football bowl games are …

Day 21,655
It is Friday! 30 December 2022. Today might be the last day I write this year, as I don’t usually post on Saturdays during this “revival” period, but who knows? Tomorrow I may be inspired and feel the urgent need to get my thoughts on digital paper for all the world to see. I also …

Day 21,654
It is Thursday, 29 December 2022. There are only a couple of days left in 2022, and there is stuff yet to get done. As I mentioned last week, we were down with COVID the last couple of weeks, and finally had a negative test earlier this week. We chose not to run to see …

Day 21,653
Wednesday morning, 29 December 2022, and I have my appropriate camel socks for this instance of Hump Day. Interestingly enough, I have a work meeting later this morning regarding my cloud admin course that starts next week. Not too demanding – I really don’t have any other responsibilities that have a higher priority. The news …

I wish you all a happy and healthy Tuesday, 27 December 2022. Today is the 2nd birthday of Lily and Rosy von Floof, daughters of Freya the Morkie and Snow the Hawaiian Pomeranian. The girls are currently sitting with my wife as she watches a docu-drama on the Oxygen channel about a nursing home serial …

Day 21,651
It’s the day after Christmas, 26 December 2022, and a grayish Monday with the sun just starting to peak out from behind the eastern cloud bank. I woke up to Lisa and Bonnie watching an old black-and-white movie with Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, and Katherine Hepburn… and I have no idea what the title is… …

Day 21,648
Good morning! It is 23 December 2022, and today will be a good day for me to wrap up a few Christmas presents. Gift bags are easy, but they are a bit of a cop-out, don’t you think? I’ll be taking another COVID test later today, hoping for a negative result for the first time …

Day 21,647
It is Thursday, 22 December 2022… it is also my last full day of work for the year. I’m in the virtual classroom in another hour, an hour to prep and settle in, and two hours to deliver my discussion on business continuity, then I’ll take care of incidental stuff for the balance of the …
