This is a Now page, and if you have your own site, you should make one, too.
Fall 2024
My most recent take on my Now page is inspired by Andy’s Working Notes and is generally a reverse order summary of notable events in my life over the last few months (or so).
I started updating my ‘Now’ page quarterly instead of monthly. I hope to change that soon.
I’ve been busy wrapping up a successful Halloween season and transitioning to Thanksgiving and Christmas at home. There’s always a lot to do around the holidays, but I’ve managed to squeeze in some fun activities like visiting the zoo, attending concerts, watching movies, and enjoying good food and drink…. I even managed to get a new CPAP machine to help me sleep better.
At work, I’ve been busy upgrading systems, onboarding a new team member, and automating tasks with Ansible and AWX…. It’s been a challenging but rewarding few months. I’ve also been experimenting with Kubuntu on my Dell Latitude E7270 and loving it!.
I’m looking forward to relaxing with family and friends over the holidays and ringing in the new year!
Here it is, the end of September 2024 and the beginning on my month was jam packed with doctor’s appointments. I had a suspicious mole removed from my back (10 stitches!), a sixth (sixth!) clear cystoscopy (back in a year), good and bad news from the gastroenterologist (good: my liver is doing well, bad: I’m gaining weight again) and a nice visit to the dentist (no cavities!).
We’re prepping for our fourth trip to Salem at the end of the month. After our first trip during the week of Halloween 2018 (which I’m still so glad we did!) we decided to start visiting at the beginning of Haunted Happenings, rather the immensely popular end of the month.
