I'm really not all that interesting, unless you consider the coffee-fueled mania that is the day-to-day struggle of my love affair with data interesting.

Well at least I got to see the beach today.
I just had to bail on a work call for an emergency run to the beach.
Too bad it was because my kid who works there left something at home. #VBProblems
Remembering the time I tried to blow out the alarm clock because it was going off and my brain thought it was a burning rat with glowing eyes.
Good morning everyone. 00:00 and I'm on the interstate.
Good morning
The emergency chocolate created a coffee crisis.
Can someone please remind me what it was we were talking about?
I don't watch the fireworks. I watch the long line of cars driving away after.
Why are my allergies so bad on this trip to Charlotte, NC?
This is what happens when someone doesn't have to spend Monday at school anymore:

Last day of school for the year is done.
And my teacher wife comes home with a cold.
And we have family in town for my son's graduation tomorrow morning.
Watching the news, i can't help but feel that if 2020 ends up being Biden vs Trump then honestly my generation has failed or be failed by a system that never let us develop as leaders. I'm 46.
Today everyone at the schools was asked to wear blue to show support. My son didn't wear blue. He is wearing his UNC Charlotte shirt. He's the only member of his hs class going to Charlotte in the fall. The shooting there was either the day of or the day after commitments were due. We had already said yes. And a month later, here we are.
Thanks for letting me vent. I think I can handle the inevitable questions from the next couple of meetings now.
Today's the first time I've been alone with only my thoughts after Friday's event. And that's speaking as someone who wasn't impacted at all. So how does one explain being generally sad about the event to coworkers around the world when I know there are people who experienced the end of the world.
And then later, my wife will come home from her school that now is one parent short; a student she had last year lost her mother Friday. That will not be fun.
Just poking my head in for some aimless feed surfing. Trying to avoid doing more work on the weekend. Isn't that what Mondays are for?
A few of us got together tonight and ended up playing Munchkin. I managed to get cursed with small hands. I changed to an orc and switched to the orange piece and then insisted than everyone call me Mr. President.
Worst part, for me, is today is my birthday. And here I an 5 miles from 11 dead, 6 injured and people I know we're in building 2, and at least one saw a coworker die. This is what I'm going to remember every year on this day for a long long time.
Of course I'm an hour late hearing all this.
