    RAVE: Home network upgrade today. My ISP, Rogers, has had a ton of issues in the last day or so, with major internet outages. I've had a cell phone access point that I generally use when I'm travelling, but this morning I set it up as a secondary ISP source for my home network. I've been streaming the F1 race this morning (wtf Piastri!?!?) and have had 5 major dropouts in Internet service, but the failover has been almost immediate to the point that there was no interruption in the streaming media. It's been failing over and back just like it's supposed to. Maybe not a big deal, but it was a "hell yeah" moment for a Sunday morning.

    Rave: With the exception of what the doctor described as one tiny polyp, my colon's clean.

    ( Space where gif of Cletus Klump farting at the dinner table would be if I could get it to work. )

    Now I can go five years instead of three. Which is good, because it'll take five years to get the taste of that prep shit out of my mouth.

    Rave: My son is a freshman at the big state university where we live and is a member of the marching band. Most of the band leaves Friday for Ireland to among other things, march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin. They are there for 5 days playing a couple concerts, the parade and sight seeing. Thrilled he gets this opportunity but at the same time anxious for him with all the stupidity going on in the world at the moment. This is part of his spring break and he ends his break spending some time with his girlfriends family (meeting them for the first time...that ought to be fun). My daughter decided to spend her spring break flying to upstate New York to babysit her 1.5 year old neice while the rest of her friends flew to Florida. I believe she made the better choice.
