It is Monday morning, 25 July 2022. I have laundry going, a fresh pot of coffee, and an empty bowl next to me that used to contain a couple of scrambled eggs topped with cheese and leftover chili. I am being semi-productive at a moment I don’t really need to be productive, so I’ll call …

Day 21,496
Sunday morning, 24 July 2022. I was thinking about how you never see a group of professors criticizing the way semi-tractor trailer drivers drive. Most of the professors I know, and I know a few through my wife (who is a professor) have an awareness of expertise – a self-awareness as well as a situational …

Day 21,495
23 July 2022. Today is my youngest daughter’s 24th birthday. Last night the family went out for dinner at one of her favorite restaurants and enjoyed a very nice evening. I am currently on vacation until a week from Monday. Lisa and I are talking about what needs to be accomplished – the list will …

Day 21,494
22 July 2022. It is Friday morning. The trash has been taken out to the road, and meetings start in an hour and a half, plenty there to keep me busy through 2 o’clock… then Bubba gets to take some time to close out the business on the table and prepare for Gracie’s birthday celebration …

Day 21,493
Good morning! It is 21 July 2022, a Thursday morning, the sun is rising, and the coffee is brewing. Yesterday I planned on having a good day. Some parts went pretty well, I think my delivery was generally positive, but at some point right after lunch, I came to a realization. I need to get …

Day 21,492
20 July 2022. It is Wednesday, and a day I have been looking forward to for most of the year – today is my last full delivery day before I take my first week of vacation this year. I have a tendency to focus on work for the first six months of the calendar year, …

Day 21,491
19 July 2022. It is Tuesday morning. Today I’ll be monitoring the chat in the class I am co-delivering. I do like this security class, but I’ll be the first to admit that spending such a long time away from that course left a little dust on the books. Yesterday was not my “best day …

Day 21,490
18 July 2022. It is Monday morning, and there’s a mist hanging over my little corner of Douglas County, Kansas. I have a security course starting here a little later, an east coast delivery that kicks off a little earlier than the central time zone deliveries I usually have. Yesterday was a productive day. Right …

Day 21,488
16 July 2022, a warm Saturday night in the middle of summer. Dogs are outside on the deck, and I know Lisa is about to open the door and let them back in, so I’ll adopt a relaxed posture and write a little bit. I remember in college, I was taking English 101 with Nancy …

Day 21,487
It is 15 July 2022, a Friday morning, and my day is starting at a manageable pace. Lisa and I decided to go to a baseball game in nearby Baldwin last evening. My nephew, Keegan, has been spending part of his summer playing for the Baldwin City Blues baseball club, part of a league for …
