It is Friday, the end of a long week, and the 11th day of February. I’m reminded of a conversation I had before the turn of the century, all the back in the 90’s. The topic had to do with being necessary to a business’s operations. Is it good to be irreplaceable? I argued that …

Day 21,332
It is Thursday, February 10… yes, the year hasn’t changed, it’s still 2022. I’m watching the news, an interview with a White House correspondent (Maggie Haberman) who has a book coming out about Trump. I have a feeling Trump will soon be releasing some press release about how the author is bad, the book is …

Day 21,331
It is Wednesday morning, February 9, 2022. Right now I’m catching up to the day’s news, and I’m still kind of stuck on the GOP’s definition of “legitimate political discourse”, which apparently means it’s ok to beat a Capitol police officer with a flag pole if you’re doing it in support of the former guy. …

Day 21,330
It is Tuesday, February 8, 2022, or as I call it, “the morning after”. I know that I write about my interests in various sports, and last night was a sportsball kind of night. For the third time in a row, my KU Jayhawks fell to the Texas Longhorns in basketball. It was one of …

Day 21,329
It is Monday, the first full Monday in February, the 7th, of the year 2022. I’m sitting here drinking my water, waiting for the coffee to finish brewing, and I’ve got a low-carb bagel ready to pop into the toaster. I’ve got an admin course on East Coast time, so I’ll be in my workroom …

Day 21,328
It is a slow Sunday morning, this 6th day of February, 2022. Lisa and I are watching mixed doubles curling. It’s not the most exciting sport to watch on the face of the planet, but I do appreciate the finesse and strategy. Some serious physics happening on these lanes. The talking heads were on TV …

Day 21,327
It is a beautiful Saturday morning, the 5th of February, 2022. It’ll be a slower-paced day, with a little basketball this afternoon, and a dinner plan that includes some new cooking tools we have yet yo take out of the box. I’m watching the news, and hearing about the GOP censuring two of their own, …

Day 21,326
It is Friday (Happy Friday, Everybody!). It is the 4th day of February, 2022, and the folks on the morning news are talking about good news in the January jobs report with 467,000 new jobs. Good news is always welcome, and this news is, apparently, quite a surprise. I wonder if people believe all of …

Day 21,325
It is Thursday morning, February 3, 2022. I’ve got a big puppy on my legs and two smaller ones off to my left wrestling and snarling at each other in mock battle. What will the day bring? Well, you can pretty much bet that somebody famous will say something reprehensible, and somebody that nobody ever …

Day 21,324
Good morning, everyone! It is Wednesday, February 2, 2022. It is Groundhog Day, and the folks in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania are on the lookout for Phil… either in the form of a groundhog or in the visage of Bill Murray, who is probably around there somewhere. Watched some sports last night with a degree of trepidation… …
