Evie Day 221
Good morning, and a happy Monday to you all. Today is 23 October 2023.
This morning, the dogs, most notably the fluffy boy, Odin, have taken a desperate interest in my wife’s breakfast. The vocalizations – not really accurate to call them “barks” – coming out of Odin are the canine of equivalent of Oliver Twist pleading for more porridge. He can be very insistent.
The weekend was pretty mundane. I spent a good portion of Saturday on either the tractor or the riding mower, tending to one of the last mowing efforts of the year. With the tractor, I go at it with zeal, pulling the brush trimmer behind that green beast until it overheats and shuts down on its own after an hour or so of operation, then I switch to a smaller green beast to tackle more mowing needs. After I get off those machines, I’m a bit stiff, and I was even more stiff on Sunday.
Sunday was a different kind of day. Normally, it’s a tabletop and football kind of day. Sadly, though, we canceled the tabletop gaming stuff as one of our group was in the emergency room with a heart attack. He ended up getting a couple of stints put in, and he’ll get out of the hospital in a couple of days, so we are all grateful that he’s going to be OK for now. If he comes across this post, I want him to know that we’re all thinking about him, wish him well, and we need his barbarian to crush the skulls and will of our opponents as soon as he’s up for it.
Might be time for me to get in for a physical.
This morning I’m back in my virtual classroom, teaching a security class. The content for day one can be a little dry – I describe it as being as exciting as a peanut butter sandwich that has been left out in the rain. It’s an introduction to lists of stuff on the first day, so I’ll try and have as much fun with it as possible.
Time to focus on the day.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
