Nine months since I got my weight under 200# (from a high of 268 in early 2019). Feels good to hold the weight loss. Have failed many many times before.

I now bounce between about 190-196# depending on what I’m doing and eating.


Even after hundreds of eye drops post retina surgery and the subsequent procedures, I still don’t like putting in eye drops.


I miss Tim Russert on the Sunday morning talk.


First these big corporations start documenting and writing you up for little, seemingly benign incidents that eventually force you into a PIP (perform improvement plan), then they got you. These plans can be so subjective and company leaning that you don’t have a leg to stand on.


Amazon will clean house after this vote. Companies know how to get around retaliation claims and manage someone out the door. It happened to me at Marriott.


During last year’s lockdown and stay at home orders, I realized I don’t really miss being around crowds and lots of people. I work in Hospitality and am around enough people and get my socializing at work, but when I’m off, a secluded spot seems best for me.


Been consistently unsubscribing to listservs and marketing emails over the past couple of months. My morning email, when most of them hit, is down considerably.


Over years of using different email clients; mail.app, Outlook, Airmail, Spark, there are a bunch of extra folders in the IMAP structure created by the different apps. Took time today to clean up this mess.


Hawaii Volcano National Park


One of the few things I’ve had for more than 40 years. Still works as is it when new.


A continuing annoyance is blogs and e-lists that post links to articles behind paywalls without mentioning that fact. I’m pretty much tapped out as far subscriptions go. If I add one, then one needs to go.


Looks like I’m going all in with #Mailbox.org. Have 1 there now that I’ve been playing with.

I’ll leave the others in Hover where the domains live, but will forward the mail to Mailbox as they come up.


I’m going to want to ride Amtrak when we next go back to the continent. It is going to get better.


Start a new job on Monday. Feels good. Had a zoom call with the corporate team last Monday. They offered an attractive compensation & benefit package.

The current manager is leaving “organically" (do to a life changes). I will get a 1 week crossover with him.


The Paramount app is a drama queen

Fatal error? I’m not sure anything actually died


American Pie


Did something good for my mind and attitude. Sharpened all of my knives. Takes me a couple of hours.


Brisket sliders from #OhanaQ BBQ in Kona. #Yum


Renewed my ServeSafe training. Got 1 wrong (50 questions). I can live with that. Good for another 3 years. They added use of hand sanitizers to the training (it doesn’t replace hand washing).


The GOP wants an ID to vote, but not to buy a gun. WTF
