Evie Day 641
Good morning, and happy Monday to you all. Today is 16 December 2024.
My granddaughter is 3 months away from turning two years old.
Saturday morning was the recognition of the fall graduates, so Lisa had to head to the university early, full regalia in tow. I received a phone call shortly after 7:30 in the morning with an offer of breakfast with my youngest daughter and my granddaughter, and it was an offer I could not refuse. I spent a wonderful meal with great company, crunchy breakfast tacos, and a deftly colored piece of artwork created by a 21-month-old little girl. We had a good time. First Watch doesn’t skimp on breakfast, and I brought home my spare breakfast taco for Dane.
Kansas rebounded from two straight losses on the basketball court to beat NC State by fifteen. The Chiefs started a very rough sequence of games (3 games in 11 days) with a win against Cleveland, 21-7, but Patrick Mahomes went down with an ankle injury late in the game. I hope he’s ok, but with pending games against the Houston Texans on Saturday and a Christmas Day game against the Steelers, I do have concerns about the quarterback’s well-being. He’s not getting as much help from the offensive tackles as his fans would like to see.
After the game, I enjoyed a few hours with the guys online, making Faerun safe for good-natured humanoids.
This week is a study and work week. I have one day in the virtual classroom delivering a course on Artificial Intelligence, and the rest of the time is devoted to new classes and certification preparation.
I better do a review of my Christmas gifts and make sure I have all of the bases covered.
In the meantime, I’ll get some coffee going and forage for some of breakfast leftovers.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
