Space Force
The United States Space Force was signed into existence today. And I will adore Admiral James Stavridis forever for saying the following:

Sorry again
So the last week has been a bit hellish. Started with Strep, then the Flu, Pinkeye, and now Pneumonia. I wanted to send this earlier but have had little to no energy, and yet miraculously kept my confinement to the couch instead of the hospital. I'm very sorry for the…

Hey All,
I am a little more than a week from a certification exam for work (MCSA 70-740) and will be doing some heavy cramming over the next few days. So please be patient as my logging rate may decline a bit until after the exam.
