It is Friday, May 18, and the last day of the formal workweek. I think it’s ok to distinguish between the formal workweek and the informal workweek because the reality is that I’ll do some work outside of work hours – it’s my nature, just as it is the nature of a lot of folks …

Day 21,367
It is Thursday, March 17, commonly celebrated as St. Patrick’s Day in the United States as just another excuse to consume massive quantities of alcohol. Another reason to have a beverage is that the NCAA Basketball Tournament has begun, the First Four have played, and now the real fun begins for the rest of the …

Day 21,366
It is Wednesday, March 16. One day after the Ides of March, one day before St. Patrick’s Day. I hope my nephew has a very good birthday tomorrow. On the Russian Front, looks like the Russian government might be dealing with an international financing problem, as it appears they may have a little trouble making …

Day 21,365
It is Tuesday, March 15 – the Ides of March… and I return to my virtual classroom to deliver the cloud administrative course. I’m all about trying to create better habits for myself. I’m trying to eat right, drink wiser (more water), and engage daily in activities that are more focused on being a better …

Day 21,364
It is Monday morning, the 14th of March, whimsically referred to as “Pi Day”, as it is 3.14. There’s a little humor in that, and we’ll be enjoying a little pie tonight for fun. Later this week, it will be my nephew’s birthday and St. Patrick’s Day. Also starting this week are the NCAA men’s …

Day 21,363
It is Sunday, March 13, and it is almost a holiday here in the US. Today is “Selection Sunday” as the field is selected for the NCAA tournament. 68 teams in total, with a couple of teams having to “play-in” on Tuesday and Wednesday with a shot to join the main tournament body for Thursday …

Day 21,362
Good morning, friends and possible future grandchildren. It’s the old man here, throwing a few words on the page. It is Saturday morning, March 12, 2022. The war for Ukraine continues. I’m currently watching a news program discussing the ways the US can support Ukraine without entering the conflict in its entirety. At the same …

Day 21,361
It is Friday, the last day of the workweek, and the 11th day of March, and Vladimir Putin is still the most dangerous lunatic in the world. I have to pause there… you know, I’m not sure. There might be more dangerous lunatics out there. Kim Jong Un, for example, or some other tyrant in …

Day 21,360
It is Thursday morning, the last day this week that I have a two-hour discussion on a work-related topic. I’ll be passing along what I know about cloud-based load balancers in another couple of hours, but I’m ready to jam. It’s been another terrible span of a day for the people of Ukraine. I think …

Day 21,359
It is Wednesday, March 9… and for Bif 12 fans, March Madness begins today with the start of the Big 12 Conference Basketball Tournament. I’m going to try and take some pleasure from college basketball, but it’s hard. I kind of want the distractions from the pictures and footage of the war in Europe. Am …
