  • 2018-06-17 Nashville Day 3 – Hey, I’m on a Boat!

    I’ve kind of always wanted to be on a boat while someone was blasting that “on a boat” song. And now I have. 😜 That was actually the third best part of my day yesterday. I realize why it’s a thing. There was a lot of prep and errands leading up to this excursion so…

  • 2018-06-16 Nashville Day 2 – Two Truths and a Lie

    Just one of the team building, learn about each other, fun things we did on my work retreat yesterday. I’m basically a day behind reporting from Nashvegas, so I don’t think I can consider this “live”. Most of the day yesterday was very work centric. Up early (hangover and all), checking in on my normal…

  • 2018-06-15 Nashville Day 1 – Live from 12 South

    I don’t know if ya’ll have heard the news – Nashville is the new Hotness and like all great fast growing metropolitan areas, each neighborhood has its own name/flavor/vibe to pull the cool people in. Our Air Bnb is apparently in the 12 South district – or so I’m told. I arrived yesterday in the…

  • 2018-06-14 Next Stop Nashville!

    For a while now I’ve been mostly “everything is awesome… life is amazing… blah-blah-woof-woof”. It’s really nice to be a part of this repeating record, especially given what I’ve been through to get here. It doesn’t make for very exciting writing though. I mean, day after day of the same routine gets boring to write…

  • 2018-06-05 So Far So Good

    Yesterday I managed to get 3 out of 5 things checked off my to-do list for the week. Not bad! I also faced my arch nemesis head on and won a battle but the war waged on. I’m referring, of course, to snail 🐌 mail ✉️. It’s a never-ending pile of papers that need to…

  • 2018-06-03 A Sunday with Significance

    But first.. weekly stats! The top areas of focus this week were sleep and work so I’ll start there. Sleep.. 7 hours and 12 mites average sleep per night. Score! That’s 12 minutes above goal and I only missed hitting that two of 7 nights. Next stop – 7 and a half. It’s all about…

  • 2018-06-01 June Flipping First

    Holy Rollovers Batman.. it’s June First!! April showers bring May flowers and May was so Hot, let’s hope June is so Not!! One of my unwritten goals this week was to get 7+ hours of sleep a night. I had no excuses for not hitting that target. Kids are home, I can get to bed…

  • 2018-05-31 Working Out and Working It

    It’s going to be a quick set today. Get the HR up and sweat a little, just enough to wet a girl’s appetite for more, and then cut and run. I was up at 6AM watching the grass grow on dashboards I developed in AWS Cloudwatch. An upgrade to the software I support went in…
