He did!
My wife is at his bedside.
Life is a journey!

More family medical issues:
Father in law checked himself into the hospital. Too much pain. He's going into surgery at 4pm (90 mins). Hospital is in Southern California. We're in Northern California. Wife considering flying down this afternoon.

We just did this in February with her brother going into surgery.

I'm fine, btw. Wife is a bit shaken, but steady.

I believe that any movement is never 'pure' in intent.

I believe that the better metric is: Is it sufficiently pure in its intent to achieve a moral outcome....
AND
Are the means of achieving it ethical.

Protests movements are usually lead by people influenced more by their internal, emotional issues than by their cause.

Can you make that randomizer screen a button on the main screen?
Sometimes I just want to look at that and drink vodka and listen to music, but I forget the url.

Doing network management for the home network on a Sunday night is boring, thankless and innocuous.

Not having internet on Monday morning is the initiator of WW3.

I think these scenarios are the most compelling evidence of the existence of The Devil.

I believe it's worth considering that there will always be a large group of people who never learn from their mistakes or recognize that their opinions are thoroughly refuted by new facts.

There is a sucker born every minute.

Most of them remain suckers their entire lives.




What a morning.
Internet down.
But was it?
Modem reboot (X5).
No service-outage in the area.
Passive switch unplugged & replugged 2X.
Hardline computer into modem.
Hair falling out.
Wife bitter and missing meetings.
All now fixed. Magically.
I have no idea wtf was causing it.

Now I'm going to go down a rabbit hole to offload the routing and DHCP to a separate device. That may not have even been the problem.

Definition of insanity.....

As a young person I never thought that changing the world would mostly involve lots and lots of
- tedious tasks
- dead ends
- late nights alone
- constant doubt

The petty challenges are what hold back progress. Rare are the heroic actions that make a difference.

I just spent 4 hours of my life debugging a problem that could have been solve by simply rebooting.

Fuckin' rabbit holes.....

Finally finished this project. Took over 15 months of planning, printing, installing, removing and reprinting, specifying the mirror details, gluing, painting and, finally, caulking.

Perfection takes time.

Good will prevail. Ukraine will serve as the pinnacle of the "good fight" for the rest of history.

@SpaceSlothForever

Stay strong.

This is a phase of your life. Painful, but one humans go through and come out OK. You do have the strength in you.

My wife and I are 2 years past the same experience. It does get better.

Enjoying a glass of champagne with the wife on our new dining room table.

First sitting.

The last one was in the family for 50 years. I wonder what gatherings will happen around this table in the decades to come

My friend is a knitter. She often visits us from Marin, so she drives across the Golden Gate Bridge.

And she likes bunnies.

This is an ongoing theme.

She likes it so much she's made stickers for her water bottle.
