Three Questions, December 11, 2024

You can find the background to The Three Questions in my recent post about it. I’ll be answering the questions each day for the next year and putting this experience into a book. Here we go!

What was the most beautiful thing I encountered today?

The most beautiful think I encountered today is a common one for me. I’m a sunset junky and today as the sun dropped we got a beautiful sunset. The sun was setting and visible through the building on top of the hill on our campus, clouds highlighted in lovely creamsicle blue, a color I’ve named myself.

What did I learn today?

Today I learned that one of my people has a part-time gig with a domestic robot startup. Their job is currently to work with and train the robot on appropriate domestic tasks. I’m very excited. I grew up a big scify fan in the 60’s and 70’s. There was always a house robot! As a kid I always dreamed that some day I’d have my own robot butler. Soon it will come true and I’ve got an inside connection.

What made me happy today?

Today, on a very long day of doing evaluations two things made me happy. The first was being able to confirm two of my people have passed their probationary period and are now permanent employees. Second and most deliciously, the homemade chocolate chip cookies one of my faculty brought in.
