Howdy. I had a decent work week, and a pretty full weekend. I'm not sure where yesterday went, entirely, though it was a lovely Saturday evening out to supper with my co-workers at a nearby brew pub. Good food and good times. Today was chock-a-block: shopping, then for work: tickets, email, and some production system patching, reboots, and testing. Then I installed a replacement sump pump, since the old one wasn't working so well anymore (short cycling).

My friend Bob Thompson died last night of complications from heart and lung issues. We hadn't traveled to see Bob and Barbara for a few years, and I'm a bit sad about that, just now. We'd speak on the phone or via email a few times a year, though. Bob was a smart, smart guy, pleasant to converse with, and uniformly helpful to folks: family, friends, and neighbors. We're going to miss him. Here's his obituary on the funeral home site.
