Amboy (April 2025)
My son and I took a drive to Amboy, CA in March 2025. Interesting story of a stalled town regeneration attempt off of historic Route 66 in California. Not much here, but it made a great day trip.

Forgiveness vs. Permission
It is better to ask forgiveness than permission
— US Admiral Grace Hopper
One of the things that I have seen during my corporate, small-business, and academic career is folks in leadership embracing Admiral Grace Hopper’s statement addressing forgiveness versus permission for all the wrong reasons. As with most things, context is everything.
My son and I had the “120 pepperoni” XL pizza at Burattino Brick Oven Pizza in Carson, CA. Not sure if there was 120 pepperoni pieces on this pie, but it was plenty. Good crust too.

Revised Obsidian Dataview Substring Queries in Monthly Notes
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about using Obsidian dataview queries to populate sections of my monthly notes. As I found out today, my queries were wrong.
I am grateful that my local library provided access to LinkedIn Learning long enough for me to get my Project Management Professional (PMP) professional development units (PDUs) done. A bit of a march towards the end given I lost access to Linkedin Learning after September 30, but it all worked out and saved me some cash.
