Evie Day 330
Good morning, and a happy Friday to you all. Today is 9 February 2024.
Coffee is going to taste very good when I make it today.
Lisa and I wrapped up Season 5 of “Money Heist” last night. It was enjoyable. Sometimes dubbed series from non-English speaking studios can be a bit of a challenge to me. I sometimes get caught up in the synchronization (or lack of it) between the audio and the lip movements.
Just had a little laugh here… some talking head was talking about how President Joe Biden sometimes messes up names, and in the same paragraph messed up the name of Joe Biden’s late son.
I find it interesting that people like to focus on the minutiae of memory. I think there are a lot of things we forget over time and it’s completely natural. I used to be able to rattle off the hexadecimal values for service broadcasts available through the old Windows Internet Name Service, but I don’t remember them anymore. Is it cognitive decline? Is it early onset of some malady that requires medical treatment? Or perhaps I just had to kick some penguins off the iceberg to make room for new penguins.
What was your favorite book you read in 2016? How many books did you read that year? Can you recall any title accurately without checking the Goodreads website?
My oldest daughter is a voracious reader. It’s not unusual for her reading to get close to triple digits over the course of a year. Even with her extraordinary memory, I wonder how many books she can accurately nail down to a time 8 years ago – granted, she’s 27 years old, and I’m 60.
Oh well.
I’ve got to spend a little time covering generative AI and network security today. After that, off to the doctor for a physical. Time to talk about some of the things that are on my mind both from a physical and a mental health perspective.
This weekend will be exciting as well… the Kansas City Chiefs have a chance to win back-to-back Superbowls when they play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Go Chiefs!
I get to spend some quality time with my grill this weekend. 😉
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
