As the week progressed, including three days off of work, I tried to focus on what I observed and was doing and not what I should have been doing – preparing for the ultimate swim meet in the upper Midwest, the Bird Bath Invitational. At least I tried.

• I caught up on a couple of webinars I signed up for but was not able to watch live. Both were on the topic of Agile and Scrum and were well worth the watch. The first one was on Adopting a Tiramisu Mindset. Yes, tiramisu, as in the Italian dessert. It is a great presentation, all the way through to the Q&A. My biggest takeaway from it is that Michelangelo was a Scrum Master centuries before there was Scrum!
• The other webinar was presented by Women in Technology Wisconsin on Agile in a Virtual World. It had a great panel of Agile and Scrum practitioners talking about their real life experience, especially over the last few months.
• Nobody questioned or responded to my blog post last week titled Contact Us. It is for literally what it says, a contact form for my blog, as part of enhancements I made to the content on the About page. Well, I think they are enhancements, what do you think?
• I got notice of yet another class action lawsuit, this one about the performance of older iPhones. I haven’t submitted a claim yet, but I will.
• Another band from the 80’s re-recorded one of their hits in separate locations and stitched together. This time it was Modern English’s Melt With You and another one I learned from the 80’s music blog Slicing Up Eyeballs.
• When your coffee of choice is Trader Joe’s Bay Blend and you no longer live within a few miles of where you can buy it as you have for the majority of your adult life, you stock up on it when you actually get to a store to get some.

Here we go again!
