Wednesday
The day went quickly. Which is not a bad way to spend the day at work. I got to work with a couple of new (to me) things… and didn’t wind up causing anything to break or explode, so I’m chalking that up as a “good” thing.

Tonight was the farewell/good luck get-together for ; he’s leaving Saturday to start working for MicroSquish. We went to The Bayou. There were a lot of people there to see him off. A lot. (And, , you missed Maddox. Again.) There were so many of us that we wound up commandeering tables in three areas. Big tables, too. It was a nice gathering. Best wishes for the future to as he starts on this new chapter in life.
