First lecture in my new capacity starts in 30 minutes. I'm actually a little bit nervous. I never feel this way.
I think it went really well. There is one absolute naysayer in the room and those are generally my favorite folks. At issue though is that he had a couple of the bedrock principles wrong and I had to find a really nice way of saying to someone who assumes that they understand the concepts, that they don't understand the concepts. And that is a tough needle to thread. I may get my legs broken.

Tough skin required.

Coffee for me, wagon ride for little man.
Brisket tacos for the win!
Quiet day on the ol LTE.
