I recently learned about the musical “Operation Mincemeat.” Among other things, their description of background cast members as having, “duties of many guises,” is thoroughly endearing.

My friend had a baby recently and shared a Wordle to reveal the baby’s name. Turns out I’m fairly bad with Wordles, and I was almost stumped. But it was a lovely idea and a cute name for the kiddo.

I teared up and/or cried an embarrassing number of times yesterday at @serviceorientedcon.bsky.social. The words of many presenters struck home for me. What’s more, I think this year I was able to be present and be a part of the conference more than I have before. I’m so grateful for that.

Though the registrations were large,
And the attendance was small,
The ones in the rooms
Were meant to be there, all in all.

The organizers of the UN event for healthy indoor air used a canary on all their materials and gave everyone canary pins.

Why? Canaries detect dangerous substances in the air of coal mines. We all need to be like canaries and warn about the dangers of unhealthy indoor air due to COVID and climate.

Stressed with less sleep than usual. Full day of work ahead both for the job I get paid for and the one I don’t. Also topping someone tonight who wants bruises by the end.

Spare a thought for me.
