Good morning! It is 11 October 2022, and I’m feeling a little relieved this morning. I was up a little later than normal last night, as the Kansas City Chiefs hosted the Raiders (what city are they in this year?). It was a rough start, with the Chiefs dropping behind the pace early, and the …

Day 21,574
It is Monday, 10 October 2022. It has been an event-free weekend here in rural Douglas County, with the regular college town stuff happening, but nothing earth-shattering here. Kansas lost their football game against TCU, which wasn’t that much of a surprise. Our quarterback was taken out of the game following a hard tackle that …

It is Friday, Friday, Friday! Good morning! It is the 7th day of October in the year 2022. I’m awake, drinking water until I pour my first cup of coffee. I’ve got an office hours session after a bit here, and I’m wondering where the morning will take me. Eventually, it takes me to meetings …

Day 21,570
It is Thursday morning, 6 October 2022. It’s kind of funny, but when I get into one of my four-week deliveries, the days jut some to click by a little faster on the calendar. This morning I will have my last major speaking role of the week, delivering a talk on Computer Services and the …

Day 21,569
It is Wednesday, 5 October 2022. Up early, getting ready for my day, and watching the news. Right now they are reporting on the 5 Oath Keepers that are being tried for sedition charges related to the attempted overthrow of the government on January 6, 2020. Based on what I hear in the recorded conversations, …

Day 21,568
Good morning! It is Tuesday, 4 October 2022. I’m up early, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and ready for my first session, which will start in about an hour and 45 minutes from now. I do love my job. One of the best parts is the opportunity to work with other instructors that have a different style …

Day 21,567
It is Monday morning, 3 October 2022. Odin is over by the screen door wanting me to let him out, but he can wait a few minutes while I crank this out. The floofs are heading to the sliding glass door, anticipating that I’ll get tired of the whining and scratching in a moment or …

Day 21,563
Is it Thursday already? 29 September 2022… and tonight I get to be arm candy. Lisa has some departmental event this evening, and I get to put the “mental” in departmental. Not a big deal really, just a semi-casual get-together. More of a “khakis, not jeans” thing. I’ll stay focused on work today. It’s always …

Day 21,562
It is a Wednesday morning, 28 September 2022. The day is starting a little slow, but I am positive that it will pick up speed at some point. As sure as one of my dogs will be a little gassy when they decide to habitat the space between my legs when I sit in the …

Day 21,561
It is Tuesday morning, 27 September 2022, and my to-do list has grown as much as it has been reduced. Yeah, it’s kind of like that on a Monday, right? Coffee is made, and as soon as I am done with this missive, I’m going to whip up a little chili and eggs to get …
