Evie Day 580
Good morning, and a happy Humpday Wednesday to you all. Today is 16 October 2024.
I’m currently wondering if I qualify as “the enemy within”. I’m confident one candidate would consider me such.
OK, I got that out of my system.
One thing I would like to take a moment to say – I’ve got some friends who have been dealing with health issues, some inconvenient maladies, and a couple who are dealing with issues of life and death (no, not kidding). One is an old friend who helped me move out of my apartment and into a house with my wife when we were married in 1996. Matt was attached to my brothers at the hip back in the 80s and 90s, and in the last couple of years, he married one of my high school classmates. Matt has been on my mind, as has one of the guys from my gaming group, and this morning I read that another guy from the gaming group had to go to immediate care last night with a knee injury. This getting-old business is not for the faint of heart.
Last night there were tacos. They are now a pleasant memory. Ah, Tuesday.
My class went pretty well yesterday. We worked our way through the intro and the first couple of modules, emphasizing the prerequisite module, so folks understood what they were expected to have some experience in before showing up for an expert-level course. I also pointed them toward some interactive lab simulations if they realized that there might be a little knowledge gap.
Tonight, there might be a virtual tabletop game… I hope so. I also hope one of the guys is out of the hospital so he can join in.
In the meantime, I’ll make a pot of coffee, take my morning meds, and toast a bagel for breakfast.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
