Bullet Points for Tuesday Lunchtime

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, so hey, why not my favorite format for catching up?

  • Last Sunday was week 1 of 3 for me talking about Christian Universalism at our church’s adult forum. Had a blast.
  • One week in with my new MacBook Neo: love it. Basically using it as my daily sidecar for personal computing next to my work PC.
  • Haven’t really thought about focusing on running this year but have put on a little over 200 miles since January 1.
  • Made chicken salad for lunch today with leftover rotisserie chicken from last night. So tasty.
  • Three weeks until our first kid graduates from college! So excited to see her take her next step.
  • As a recovering evangelical Christian, it was surprising to me how many of my Episcopal siblings are very ambivalent about the “who is saved?” and “what happens after you die?” questions. I find their view actually very practical.
  • I’m sure it’s a loss leader, but golly when Sam’s Club sells a fresh hot rotisserie chicken for $5 it’s quite easy to just buy two. (As I said: hello, leftovers.)
  • Spring weather means I’m ready to be running outside and not on the treadmill at the gym. It’s so much easier to keep focus and get miles in that way.
  • Possibly my favorite thing about my new job thus far is that I feel like a real software guy again - not just a certification engineer, but legitimately a software person. Didn’t realize how much I’d missed that.
