Good morning! It is Monday, 15 August 2022, and it’s also payday… so, yeah, a generally positive kind of vibe.
Although I will admit, I had to correct a spelling error when I almost wrote “good moroning”, but I guess that would be for people that continue to support certain lost causes.
It’s going to be bit-flip kind of day, switching certain activities off and on as I prepare for my delivery week. I have four sessions over four days, with a review/preview session tomorrow, a case study on Wednesday, and a chalk talk on Thursday. Friday is set aside to “tell ’em what we taught ’em”, followed by the regular array of meetings.
There are always some meetings.
I don’t mind them, and I recognize the necessity of them.
The news is on in the background, and they’re about to talk about Salmon Rushdie and the attack on him. I can’t recall who said it, but someone said something to the effect, “if your religion cannot handle words, the words aren’t the problem”.
Nothing is above criticism. I’m not above criticism, the Catholic church is not above criticism, the administration is not above criticism… and no other institution is either. Yes, that includes every religion on this planet.
Hell – if we ever encounter alien life, they won’t be above criticism either. If they turn us all into livestock, you can bet we’ll find flaws in the cookbook.
I’ve reached the point of my post where I realize I’m reaching pretty hard for the next sentence. That’s a clue I need to wrap it up.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
