Evie Day 309
Hi folks. It’s Bob, again. I wish you all a happy Friday, Today is 19 January 2024.
Man, oh, man. I’m watching the news and am very tired of seeing one face being plastered all over the news. No, I’m not talking about Rudy Guiliani.
I posted the other day on one social media platform that watching the news makes me appreciate my dogs more.
Topic shift…
Today is the last day of my security course. We’ve had pretty good interaction for a lecture-heavy course. I’ll start off the day today with some review, then a module and a half before I turn over to my training partner to close out with another module and a half and the course closing. The classes that focus on case studies always land slightly differently with our attendees. We can observe and track folks’ progress when there are labs. With the case studies, not so much.
I’ve been trying to cultivate a habit of listening to executive book summaries every day at lunch… and during the work week, I’ve done pretty well. I hope I’ll have gone through a couple hundred books by the end of this calendar year.
Right now I’m watching an opinion writer for the National Review, Rich Lowry, mansplain to a black woman what racism is and what her ancestors experienced. Rich Lowry reminds me of a product one might find in the feminine hygiene section of the pharmacy, perhaps something someone might want to use on a summer’s eve. I don’t care for his editorials, and now I care for them even less. The guy couldn’t keep himself from interrupting the other person… which I typically expect from insensitive types that are more concerned with saying their piece than listening to anyone who has had a different experience than he has… seems to me that in his mind’s eye, the only valid American experience is the one he has had.
OK, now I need to get away before I write something I wish I hadn’t written.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
