It is Thursday morning, 26 January 2023. I have today and tomorrow remaining in my month-long blended learning course. Yesterday my training partner was ill – not entirely unexpected as I knew she was under the weather the previous afternoon – and an old friend jumped in to fill the gap and provide some cover. …

Day 21,681
It is Wednesday! 25 January 2023… and I just realized that I forgot to post something last night for work. Guess what I’m going to do just as soon as I’m done with this little blurb? Yesterday was a good day. I’m glad I wrote yesterday’s post about validation. I’m 59, and it’s about time …

Day 21,680
Good morning… well, “good” might be subjective, but in my time zone, at least the concept of “morning” isn’t subject to debate. It is 5:53 AM in the midwest, this 24th day of January 2023, one week remaining in the first month of the year. For a few days now, a word has been at …

Day 21,679
Monday! Monday! Monday! It is 23 January 2023, and as I have shared with you before, I usually write my blog during the week and take the weekend off. My sports fan weekend had mixed results, with Kansas coming up way short against TCU on Saturday’s early game, but the NFL playoff results went just …

Day 21,676
It is Friday! The last day of this work week, 20 January 2023. There is a lot going on in the world this morning that is getting a little bit of my attention, everything from kids shooting teachers, Ukraine and the Russian conflict, the world economy, and various issues orbiting the topics of gender and …

Day 21,675
Thursday morning, 19 January 2023. Yesterday was a scary day at work. My employer, a pretty good tech company, announced layoffs. That is never fun, and a lot of folks were on edge around the virtual workspace, and later in the day, I did discover a couple of my coworkers that I call friends were …

Day 21,674
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 …
