Three Things in Summer 2017

I didn’t get out prompts yesterday.

Much of the afternoon was spent trying to get my mother’s laptop working.

Then my in-laws’ house, the supermarket, and home for dinner.

After dinner and a beer, I was in dreamland.

So, onto a prompt I’m recycling for today....

Tell us about 3 things you have done in the past year that you have never done before, big or small.

1. Spent a night in hospital. One of those bucket list items, I suppose. I ended up spending five nights in three trips between September and June. When you’re killing your immune system every four weeks, bacteria can have a pretty miserable effect.
2. Ditched a day of work to go on a job interview. One of the changes that Amtrak made was extending the Northeast Regional down to Norfolk. I had an interview with a Federal agency, so I went up, interviewed, had lunch with a friend at Union Station, and rolled back home. It’s a long day, and I didn’t get the job, but the whole experience was probably more worthwhile than spending a day analyzing network scans.
3. Considered moving to NYC. This is something that’s come about in the past few months, really, but I’m sick of what I’m seeing here, and want something different.
