Evie Day 257
Hi everybody! It is another glorious Taco Tuesday, 28 November 2023.
I started my class yesterday, with a pretty good turnout. One of the challenges this time of year is getting folks to show up on the first day of class. It’s fairly regular to have a couple of folks not show up – our classes are free to our customers, and that might affect the perceived value of the course. Add in the challenges folks face during this time of year, and it is not unusual for there to be a pretty significant drop-off in attendance. We had a good day, and at the end of the day, there was pretty good feedback from my attendees, especially those in distant lands who were very late into the evening (2:30 AM in India!) and needed to get some sleep. One of my learners made the joking comment that sleep was for the weak.
I’ll get my day going here in a couple of hours. I’ve always been an early riser, something I think I picked up from my dad. He always got up at 6:30 AM, and with the years that I faced an hour-long commute to drive into Kansas City, I became accustomed to getting up at 5:30 AM. I sleep in a bit on Saturday and Sunday, but on workdays, 5:30 is the wake-up call.
I think I’ll have some of my wife’s leftover chili with eggs for breakfast this morning… avail myself of the opportunity to surprise my taste buds and stomach on a Tuesday. I won’t have much lunch – probably just a protein shake, and, as anyone who has read my blog before can expect, there will be tacos for dinner.
I’ve got dogs on my lap as well as my notebook. I suppose one could make the joke that I have a notebook and two furry laptops.
There is not much else to get into this morning. Kansas hosts Eastern Illinois tonight in a warm-up game prior to taking on the defending national champion UConn on Friday. I might need to get an extra bag of tortilla chips to enjoy with salsa during the game tonight.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
