Slowly getting back into reading with this new found free time getting out of top management. I like history and fiction rooted in history.

Really liked East of Eden. Also like reading about cosmology.



A couple of weeks ago I cleaned up our home network. The modem and router is in the 2nd bedroom (wife’s office). The Apple TV is in the living room and we had lots of buffering, even after upgrading router. I installed a Powerline extender. Works as advertised. No more buffering


First day. Loving it


Watching the movie Snatch for the umpteenth time. Love that movie. youtu.be/9Jar2XkBb…


It’s strange that only Paramount has had live local broadcasts on their streaming app since launch. We watch the local morning news every day. Peacock doesn’t nor does ABC through Disney.


Got the Arc Browser. Quite elegant.

Playing with having everything I typically do on my Mac in the browser. MS365, iCloud, FBref, Mailbox.org, Micro.blog, etc. Kind of Chromebooklike


The speed of this was interesting. I applied for the position on Saturday afternoon, I got a message later that day asking if i could interview Sunday. that went well. I went for a 2nd interview Monday morning, received an offer Monday afternoon. I start on Thursday.


Have a dual sim phone. Have 2 spam call filter apps, as neither will support both numberes

Have Hiya and Trucaller.



Dodgers' magic number is 15. They have forced the other teams in the west to win every day to even have a glimmer of a hope.


I have about 16 extra hours a week between not having a commute and not doing GM stuff after restaurant closing, plus all of the work I was doing at home.

Hello Kindle and Steam deck. We will have some quality time going forward.

Finally getting around to watching Umbrella Academy. I watched episode 1 a few months back. Love it


Signed and sealed. And got a higher offer. So only 30% less pay for a lot less stress


Haven’t sat inside a Starbucks for 2 1/2 years. Was almost a daily stop. That place between home and work. Likely won’t need that gap between the two with my career correction.


My invite for Arc arrives tomorrow, looking forward to a test drive


Looks like I’m taking a job as an Asst. Kitchen manager at a locally owned restaurant. 40% pay cut - 200% stress cut.

I’ve been a restaurant GM or multi unit manager in a Resort for most of the past 30 years. It really going be liberating to not always be the lightning rod.


The sugar ants are having a party


It’s getting closer to a point where it makes financial sense to drop out of management and just become a line cook.
