I've been busy but apparently so has everyone else... And not busy bantering.
Got some chicken on the grill and ready to chow down shortly.
Didn't have any after-school activities to wait around for today, so I did some OT when I got back, then a lot of reading throughout the evening. I've been plowing through book 2 of the Wheel of Time series. New episodes are currently airing on Prime and this season covers books 2 and 3, so I was trying to get through them as the season unfolds. Finished book 2 this evening, so I'll start book 3 tomorrow. Just rereading, as I've already been through the series a couple of times.
Not familiar with this series.
Rereading...my, you have some time on your hands!
-
Good series, but terribly verbose.
More than 4 million words in the 14 book series.
Jordan died before it was finished. Brandon Sanderson finished it based on Jordan's notes (and added a prequil if that wasn't enough)

Today would have been my old man's 97th birthday. He's been gone almost 10 years. Hoping he continues to rest in peace.

The wife took today off from work. Her cousin came in from Florida last night. I think they're heading into Manhattan for the day. I just need them out of my "hair" so I can get stuff done. I have another interview at noon.

I have such a weird situation with my current job search. I won't go into it now but the two job offers that I thought were forthcoming, are still on the table. Due to extenuating circumstances the offers haven't been made yet. I should know more about the one situation at noon today.

Kinda sounds like that Seinfeld episode where George isn't sure if he got the job or not.

Yes. Full-time IT jobs but in different industries. One is in academia and the other in banking.

Today is Friday, Sept. 22, the 265th day of 2023.
There are 100 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Sept. 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free as of January 1, 1863 if the states did not end the fighting and rejoin the union.
On this date:
In 1776, during the Revolutionary War, Capt. Nathan Hale, 21, was hanged as a spy by the British in New York.
In 1911, pitcher Cy Young, 44, gained his 511th and final career victory as he hurled a 1-0 shutout for the Boston Rustlers against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field.
In 1949, the Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb.
In 1961, the Interstate Commerce Commission issued rules prohibiting racial discrimination on interstate buses.
In 1975, Sara Jane Moore attempted to shoot President Gerald R. Ford outside a San Francisco hotel, but missed.
In 1980, the Persian Gulf conflict between Iran and Iraq erupted into full-scale war.
In 1985, rock and country music artists participated in “Farm Aid,” a concert staged in Champaign, Illinois, to help the nation’s farmers.
In 1993, 47 people were killed when an Amtrak passenger train fell off a bridge and crashed into Big Bayou Canot near Mobile, Alabama.
In 1994, the situation comedy “Friends” debuted on NBC-TV.
In 1995, an AWACS plane carrying U.S. and Canadian military personnel crashed on takeoff from Elmendorf Air Force Base near Anchorage, Alaska, killing all 24 people aboard.
In 2014, the United States and five Arab nations launched airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Syria, sending waves of planes and Tomahawk cruise missiles against an array of targets.
In 2020, U.S. deaths from the coronavirus topped 200,000, by far the highest confirmed death toll from the virus in the world at that point, according to a count by Johns Hopkins University.
In 2017, as the scale of the damage from Hurricane Maria started to become clearer, Puerto Rican officials said they could not contact more than half of the communities in the U.S. territory, where all power had been knocked out to the island’s 3.4 million people.
In 2018, Paul Simon ended what was billed as his final concert tour in a park in Queens, New York.

Not a terribly recent picture of Debbie Boone, but jeeminy christmas...she's aging quite gracefully.
I learned to play her big hit on piano in 1977 to impress a girl I was sweet on in seventh grade. It worked, too.
