Evie Day 264
Good morning, and a happy Tuesday to you all. Today is 5 December 2023.
Yesterday was a special day in our family. My niece gave birth to a baby boy, my brother became a grandfather, and my mom became a great-grandmother for the second time. All are well.
My class is off to a good start. I’ve got about 20 learners in my virtual classroom, once again spanning the globe, but for the first time in a long time, I don’t think I have anybody further east on the planet beyond Germany. My German student was rather pleased when I passed along a “take-home assignment” at a decent hour so he could go get some sleep.
Yes, I know… they were already home in a lot of cases.
Tonight, we’ll have our regular dinner, celebrating the day of the week in the traditional fashion. The only question is how many tacos I’ll pick up for dinner.
There’s a basketball game on tonight. Kansas knocked off UConn last Friday night, and with that win, as well as some other losses among some of the top-ranked teams, Kansas moved to number 2 in the country. Kansas will host the University of Missouri/Kansas City Kangaroos at Allen Fieldhouse for a tune-up game before getting into the last stretch of holiday non-conference games. Two of the games I am looking forward to – the matchup against the University of Missouri this weekend, and the game on December 30th against Wichita State. I harbor no ill will against the the WSU basketball team – I used to hang out with a couple of players when I was a student at WSU, but these days I’m not a big fan of the school itself. There are reasons, but that’s a story for another day.
The time has come to get the coffee going and think about breakfast.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
