My wife, parents, and sister have been constant inspirations. They have encouraged me too. I am also inspired by those in the culture who seek to make life better for as many people as possible. People who I have come across online have given me hope. Lately people in health care have amazed me. Nurses, nurse assistants, rehabilitation specialists, doctors, and more have shown me great skill and ability to heal and help people get back to where they were before. Thanks to all who have inspired me to want to be better and do more myself.

Daily Prompt – Mastering A Skill
Daily writing prompt
If you could instantly master any skill, what would it be and why?
I have been a caregiver to my wife, who had emergency surgery in April to clear a severe infection that could have been fatal. Part of that caregiving is wound care. I received a crash course in taking care of her significant surgical wounds before she left her rehabilitation hospital on May 9th. Since then I have practiced the art of applying gauze, pads, creams, saline, and other things to help her heal. So in a sense I have mastered that skill as much as an amateur nurse can.
Happy Friday Gang!
It’s Friday good people. Do your best. Have the best day possible.

Back In The Office Today
I am back in the office after being on family medical leave due to my wife’s emergency surgery, recovery and rehabilitation. I worked remotely for a couple of weeks too.
My wife returned to the office today too and she is a bit nervous as to be expected. She is still healing and requires wound care by me and home health. Let’s hope the rest of the week goes well. It’s been a long road but we have made it through.
Thanks to everyone who has been there for us during this time. We are grateful.
A Follow-Up To My Data Center Post
After pondering what my last post on data centers was about, I can think of some alternative data centers that would be helpful in our communities. We need properly funded and stocked libraries and other places of knowledge where people can learn and grow using technology that isn’t destructive or invasive. Data centers wreck everything around them. Making human connections in community centers and the like. Artificial intelligence should have more human-centered actual intelligence built in to give it some balance.
