The June organ recital
Besides tyhe every 5 yr HS class reunion, our school has an every year reunion for the performing arts dept, (Music, Theatre).
2020 we took a pass, but Im hoping we are on for this summer.
MY HS class reunion should be this fall.
Joe, who mnages the performing arts reunion jokes about how at our age, all meetings begine with an "organ recital" (knees ( Read more... ) -
April already
While Steve would rather have Colleen at UofW, Swedish Hill does have a good reputation,
so Colleen is not going into a bad place.
The year I was working in Seattle, I was comuting from the Bay Area to Seattle several times a month.
I think it was back in 2006-2007, the year everyone watched me age.
I met a lot of people on the plane going to or from ( Read more... ) -
More bungled politics
Ive been listening to the impeachment and trial.
I do not like Trump, and would love to see him convicted.
Bearing that in mind, I observe the Democrats botching the job, yet again.
The Trump defense team has made some excellent points.
I notice that Biden is steering clear of this mess.
Problem #1 is that if we bring federal down on Trump,
then the ( Read more... ) -
The spice of life
I dont know if Coleen reads my posts anymore or not.
If not, perhaps Steve can forward this tidbit to her?
My brother in law, Tom travels, ALOT.
He actually visits the Dubai Spice Market several times a year.
For the most part, spices in the US are basically sawdust.
Dubai cinnamon, you can WELD with!
Tom is not traveling as much as he was and hes moving ( Read more... ) -
Kerb!am
About 2 yrs ago, Dr Who had an episode titled "Kerblam".
On the surface, it was a total send up of Amazon.
I watched it again, recently.
It was hilarious the first time, but now being part of Amazon, it was even more so.
It was Amazon, through and through, from the hi viz safety vests worn on the floor,
right down to the scanner gun we use.
While the ( Read more... ) -
Regime change
I guess we are 1.5 days into regime change in DC.
Im doing a quick post over my lunch, then back to coding.
I think it was Tuesday when we had heavy offshore winds.
The warm weather went Mon-Wed, its cooling off again now.
It was interesting seeing temps in the mid 50s at 1 am.
The 48in portable box fans were deployes at Amazon.
On Tuesday, the max in ( Read more... ) -
A new year
For starters, I wish I could figure out why Dreamwidth prepopulates the subject line with " Re: SRE "
My fathers side of the family arrived in Scituate Mass (near Plymouth) in 1632.
I consider myself a patriot, but not in the Trump sense.
Im not wild about last Wednesdays invasion of the capitol.
I wont call is an "attempted coup" because it never had ( Read more... ) -
A decent end to a rotten year
They say that it is easier to find a job when you already have one.
The job search has been hard this year.
I have fallen behind in my skillset, and its been harder to find work at a decent rate if at all.
There are plenty of off shore recruiters seeking someone with top level AWS certifications and only paying 45/hr.
If you dont have those certs or ( Read more... ) -
In mourning
I am in mourning for a telescope.
To most, this would be wierd, but to those who know me well, they will understand.
Arecibo telescope, has a reflector (actually a parabolic curved mesh) constructen in a sink hole in Arecibo Puerto Rico.
The dish does (did) not move.
400 ft above, a large platform moves on a set of cables strung between 3 towers,

Has the time come for Texx to settle down with a girl ?????
I didnt realize it until today, that Im apparently in a Twilight Zone episode and didnt know it.
(WHERES my RESIDUAL???)
On top of all the sureal things happening, Eric Trump has announced his membership in the LGTB community.
If that true, I need to start dating and get married...
I damn near peed myself laughing, when I found out that Tweety Bird,
