I was looking through my bookmarks and saw this one so I thought I’d stop in and say HI! So… HI! Lots of life stuff going on over here and I’ve been busier than I’d like. I’ve been absorbed into a ginormous healthcare system located here in Cleveland, and have been chugging along with that. Our youngest son is now a United Sates Marine (Lance Corporal) and is stationed in Okinawa. Getting a new woodworking side-gig going to take me mind off of serious stuff. Nothing more to report. Hope everyone’s been good. -Boomer ---

I think I had my surgery at your main campus! Euclid Ave? That was back right before the pandemic hit, end of Feb 2020. Good to see you back, @Boomer ! ---

Muchas grassy-ass! Yep, main campus in on Euclid Ave in the Land Of Cleves. I never go there though. I, along with most of the IT Division work out of the Administrative Campus in Beachwood. Well, we did. About the time you were having your surgery, we were sent to work from home. They made it permanent this year so I’m full-time remote working now, pretty much forever. Which is good and bad. I get to avoid people, but then I only have cats to talk to all day until Mrs. Boomer gets home from work. Still, I prefer it for MANY reasons. Hope everything went well for you! ---

Here’s my summary from then: > [@What Made You Happy Today?](http://cog.discourse.group/t/what-made-you-happy-today/490/3668): > > Back home! Has been much, much better than the worst-case anticipation. Got weird muscle cramps and spasms (caused by posture in the OR and how they had to manipulate me in there), and I get tired somewhat easily… it isn’t “deathbed for weeks” bad… I fully expect my wife will be able to leave me at home come Monday and return to her own job. We left home last Thursday to drive to Cleveland, I spent one night in what would be her hotel room for the next several days, then into surgery on Frida… I had planned to WFH post-surgery, then in response to the pandemic our company sent everyone, in all offices, home until further notice. It was a full year plus before any office was opened, and so many of us liked it they’re moving the Cincy office from a 50-person plus suite to a 2-person plus a couple of hotel desks. ---

I’ve heard a majority of the actual hospitalizations for eating Tide pods were senior citizens with dementia or similar. ---
