Dave’s Not Here Man

If you get the Cheech & Chong reference, good for you. If not, why are you here?

Insert nifty transition here.

It’s been a few months (like 5 – zoinks!) since I wrote something here. I honestly forgot all about it for a minute. A random feedback thing from my contact page showed up in my personal email, meaning a setting was wrong, and I had to check it out and figure out what I had even written here.

So, 7 months and still no social media and it’s great. I was jogging a lot again, but tweaked my back pretty badly again so that’s over until physical therapy gets me fixed. I’ve read a ton and have like 4 books going at the moment. I had to change dissertation topics, and I’ve actually had the time and focus to get well down the road on the new topic.

Work has been hectic because the typical millennial in the office quit via text with 5 days notice. Sucks that she was also the in your face “Christian” and turned a lot of people off to even hearing about any kind of faith. Trying to build some bridges there and be a better example to some of the guys.

Probably some more stuff has happened. Local paper couldn’t get monthly charges right so I just pay the gas station price for the Sunday paper each week. “Downgraded” to a Pixel 3a and love it. Pretty much just happy to not see people being stupid in a never ending scroll. Reading Medium + a couple of physical magazines and academic journals keeps me somewhat aware of the world. YouTube provides just enough weirdly educational items to justify its existence for the time being. I think that’s it.

Stream of consciousness, over.
