Evie Day 735
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday, and the work week is winding down. Today is 20 March 2025.
The weird winter weather we were supposed to encounter yesterday huffed and puffed, but did not bury the house in snow. I guess we were lucky. We did get a little precipitation, which is certainly welcome.
I was productive yesterday, stayed on top of the course I’m reviewing. I also had a pleasant surprise with the offer of a couple weeks worth of work for a training provider, one course on solutions architecture, and another on using a scripting language for administrative tasks. I’m looking forward to it. I also was able to enjoy the company of a lovely young lady yesterday afternoon while her momma, my daughter Gracie, went to the dentist. Evie is always a delight… and the cookies she baked with Gramma turned out pretty good, too.
I got together with some of the guys last evening for some tabletop. Things seemed to be going our way, but I have a hard stop at 10 o’clock as part of my negotiations with Lisa (not formal, but I did tell her that I’d hang it up by 10 on Wednesday nights and 6:30 PM on Sundays). I stepped away, and I’m not sure if we completed the conflict, or if the game master decided to pause. I’m Central Time, and a couple of our other players are East Coast, so it’s even later for them. I’m guessing there was a pause.
Today I will be watching some NCAA basketball. I didn’t take the time to fill out a bracket this year – I try not to get caught up in the gambling side of the NCAA tournament – but I’m hopeful that Kansas can play up to their potential this weekend as we start off against Arkansas (lost to Arkansas in a preseason exhibition game). Arkansas has an injured starter, and I think the Jayhawks are relatively healthy. If Kansas can pull off a victory, then they will likely face St. John’s on Saturday, and the star for St. John’s is a guy who used to be at Kansas, Zuby Ejiofor . When he left Kansas, a lot of folks were a bit mystified. He seems to be thriving with his new team… there have been times we certainly could’ve used him in Lawrence this season.
OK, time to focus on the day ahead.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
