Good morning, and welcome to Wednesday, 9 August 2023.
I’m listening to some weather-related sounds outside. I have a feeling my big boy, Odin, will require some special attention. He’s my only male dog, and my biggest at 28 pounds, and when thunderstorms roll through, he gets scared pretty easy.
Had an interesting comment regarding my posts about the Women’s World Cup and the US Women’s National Team. The comment addressed the role Megan Rapinoe has had in her support for women’s rights, the LGBTQ+ community, and women athletes striving for pay equality – and I agree 100%. I support women’s sports – my mom was an athlete and a coach, my sister has been an athlete and a coach, my wife was a high school athlete as were both of my daughters. I get a little tired of certain fans that feel there must be a comparison between the game women play and the game men play. Here’s an idea – Don’t. Don’t compare them. Accept each with its own players and own style.
Hug your kids if you have ’em. I received some bad news yesterday from a friend regarding his son. Terrible news, the worst kind. His son had been in and out of rehab and got his hands on a bad batch of something. I was a mess for a while after I got the news, and still hurt.
I’ve got one section to cover today in my admin course. I had two yesterday, and one of the learners in class gave me a compliment about my explanation of TCP/IP networks today, and that was a moment. It’s kind of unusual for someone to open their mic and thank me for discussing a topic I consider to be pretty mundane. It does make a guy feel good.
I’m going to get this in the can and get going on my day.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
