I'm slowly but surely going through my freezer. There's a lot of food I have forgotten about. I found a spiral sliced ham. We haven't eaten ham in a long time. There's a ton of frozen asparagus. Tony was eating a ton of it, then stopped. Not sure why. This Sunday I am making a [...]
This week has been busy. I had to take a three day training on incident command. It's one of the courses I would like to teach in the future. I already took this class as well as some of the other prerequisite classes that are needed for the train the trainer class. The problem is [...]
After all of the cooking I did for Thanksgiving, I wanted to slow down a bit. I need to anyway. I want to take a moment to talk about mental health and the holidays. Make sure to take care of yourself, first and foremost. I had too many things going on at once and had [...]
It's not been easy taking care of my mother in law, but we are getting by. The ups and downs are hard. So are managing things that keep her active and happy. If you've ever taken care of someone with dementia, you know how hard it is getting them to do things. When they get [...]
I should be home for the next couple of months. I'm glad to be done with travelling for a while. It takes a lot out of me. This last conference was memorable for all the wrong reasons. The sessions were good, but there were some things that were not good from the perspective of the [...]
This week I am taking an exam. No I have not been taking college courses. I don't plan to do that since I finished my PhD. I have instead been taking courses to become a Certified ADA Coordinator. ADA stands for Americans with Disabilities Act. This certification is important for my job. When I create [...]
I'm back from this round of traveling. I went to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to teach a class. If you have heard about it, but have never been, it's a great place to visit. I taught the class on the campus of Michigan Tech. For those who are not familiar with this university, it's [...]
I feel like I can't catch a break. This summer will be travel, catch up, local conference, catch up and repeat. I'm happy to travel and do all kinds of fun things, but not being home or in the office much takes its toll. So a short post this week. This week I'm doing a [...]
This week I'm getting ready for a conference and I spent some time doing car work. The conference is our big annual conference, where over 1,000 people of many professions come together. It's fun, but a lot of work. I help people get continuing education for our sessions and that is daunting, but always worth [...]
Another busy week. I spent most of it on work related stuff. Tony got a root canal. I've never seen a man so happy to do that. I understand why. He had an infection and a lot of pain. He waited too long to get it done. He was also expecting to be laid up [...]
