Good morning, folks! It is Monday, 30 January 2023. I am back in my virtual classroom again this week, and my class is running on west coast time, so I’ve got a little more “morning” in my morning, with my class beginning at 11:00 AM, rather than the typical 8:00 (East Coast) or 9:00 (Central).
Yesterday would’ve been my dad’s 82nd birthday. Thanks for the lessons and the freedom to do my own thing, Dad.
It was a good weekend for sports fan Bob. Kansas broke their 3-game losing streak by knocking off Kentucky as part of the Big 12-SEC Challenge. There 10 total games between SEC and Big 12 schools. This series has gone on for several years, and this is the last in the series, with this weekend’s games going to the Big 12, 7-3. The other sports fan Bob win was yesterday, as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 to advance to the Super Bowl and the right to face the Philadelphia Eagles – the team Andy Reid coached for years before coming to Kansas City. That game will take place on February 12.
Other than that, there isn’t a whole lot more to discuss. I am thankful for today. I am grateful for each breath. I am thankful for the nutrition I put in my body and the water that sates my thirst. I am filled with gratitude for the love that is in my life, human and otherwise.
I am thankful for my friends. I don’t say that enough. I’ve become significantly more isolated over the past few years with the pandemic and other changes. It is always heartwarming to know that folks outside the walls of my house care about me.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all!
