Starting exercise class yesterday along with planting the trees left me physically exhausted so we took today off and did inside stuff. I’m happy that we got the plants in but boy, I forgot how much work it can be. Oh well, it’s nice to take time and do nothing. Back at it tomorrow.

I’m not sure why but even though I’m in between jobs, I’m always happy it’s Friday. I guess that’s fine as I still have the Sunday blues even though I have no reason to dread Monday’s at this particular point. It looks like I’m going to be helping out my old job with some simple…

A young lady I worked with 3 jobs ago is dying. I accepted a friend request from her maybe 9 months ago and was a bit shocked to find out she was undergoing chemotherapy. At the time I didn’t pay much attention, she was young (a couple or so years younger than I) and was…

So the internet is more than just news and new stuff. It’s a great archive of old stuff as illustrated by the Portal to Texas History hosted by the University of North Texas. As I was perusing the Fort Worth Gazette newspaper of Monday, June 22, 1891, and came across this gem: So crazy has…

So now that I’ve decided that I’m running with my degree, I need to craft a version of the resume to that end. I’ve got a generic one and one geared to TCC admin but not one showcasing data science credentials. I’ll have to work on that tomorrow. Spent part of the day working with…

52 years old today. That number seems so large now that I see it in type. Today was the typical pseudo melancholy that attends these events. Don’t get me wrong, I’m incredibly thankful for the life I live and the people in that life. I’m blessed beyond what words can express but in the back…

I was up and at the gym at 6:30am this morning. Not really a particular reason other than the fact that I was awake. I will be working on getting myself back on a real schedule and working out is a fairly important part of that. Later in the day Sandy and I went and…

While yesterday was nice weather-wise, we’re back in the cold today. I guess that’s Texas winter for you. Had I been in Erie it would have just been cold. It’s mom’s birthday today, she’s 82. Exactly 30 years and 4 days older than I. We’ll be getting together tomorrow for lunch to celebrate both her…

I had almost forgotten that part of being an alumni from WGU gets me unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning. One of the classes they have is on WordPress and while I’ve been using it for years, I’m far from being an expert. So I started taking the classes associated with WordPress and I’m a little…

Made it halfway through the week and it warmed up a bit, that’s subjective since it only made it to 42 but it beats 22. Lab tests are back in and I’m fit as a fiddle, not a new shinny one but one that will be around for a couple more years. The only thing…
