Today's Haiku:

Gray ropy tendrils
Suppurative and smelly
Chronic wounds are bad.

So I just told my wife and one of my daughters that I have a blog and they were so surprised.  So I had to prove it to them, which I did by pulling it up and showing them, then I generated this post.  I am amazed to realize I have had this blog for about 10 years!  I suppose it might be more useful if I posted to it a lot more often.

I don't want to be famous or even understood, I just like to write random stuff once in a while.

Things that are going on:

1.  looking for a job
2.  writing - it is NaNoWriMo, but I am so busy
3.  language - I love different languages, have been working on Norwegian for awhile now.  I think I will probably work on it until the end of the year.  Next, I'll go back to Korean.  Korean is stressful and difficult for me.  So I needed a break, so that's why I switched to Norwegian, which is easy by comparison.
4.  Army stuff - I need to do the pre-BOLC online course, but of course I can only initiate it at a .mil network.  Gotta schedule that.
5.  Daughter #2 wants to learn Krav Maga, so we are going to check out a martial arts school this week.  They teach kali arts there, too, so maybe I can pick up my escrima sticks again.
6.  Turned 49 last week, no big deal.  I still think pretty immature thoughts most of the time and at this point in my life have only learned to simply not let all of them come out of my mouth.  I suppose for most values of n, this is as mature as I am going to get.
7.  Looking forward to reading the 4 hour work week, but I am pretty sure it is going to take a lot longer than a week.
8.  Still slogging through Schneider's endovascular text - very readable, pretty up to date (this is the 2019 edition), and Understanding Ultrasound Physics.  My goal is 10 pages a day in each, at least 5 days a weeks. 
9.  My wife got me Air Pods for my birthday.  Best. Birthday. Present. Ever.

All in all most things are going mostly well, so I'll take that.

Tusen Takk!
