We don’t watch much sports on TV (or in person, for that matter), so Ted Lasso wasn’t an automatic “must-watch” for us. But I read so much about it that we gave it a chance last November and loved it.

We wanted to watch it again to refresh our memories before the new season starts in a couple of weeks; we finished it last night. I picked up more of the fine points of soccer than I had gotten on the first viewing (though I still don’t understand the offside rule) – and was just as disappointed by Richmond’s relegation as I was the first time around.

And because we’d just finished Ted Lasso yesterday, I wanted to watch the Euro 2020 final today while my soccer knowledge was at its peak. I didn’t follow the fine points of play, but I did enjoy the game, and really was focused on the penalty kicks at the end.

Maybe I should give American football another chance, too.

It was hot today. We tried not to move too much, and my watch tells me I was successful at staying put – I expect to miss my calorie goal for the first time in nearly two weeks.

I decided I was finished with the server rebuild I’ve been doing over the past few days, so, just for fun, I tried running the do-release-upgrade command on the old system. An hour or so after issuing the command, I had a mostly functional Ubuntu 20.04 system – but it was still cluttered with old versions of PHP and Python that I’d installed over the past three years. It also was running a different version of the Linux kernel and of Apache than the Ubuntu 20.04 system I’d installed from scratch. I’m glad I chose to start fresh.

Did I mention it was hot today? PG&E was looking at the possibility of rotating power outages. Our house is in an outage block that would be in the first batch of outages, so PG&E wanted to let me know of the possibility. They called and texted my cell, called the house, and sent email – and then they did it all again a couple of hours later when they decided they definitely wouldn’t need to turn off our power today.

I bet they call again tomorrow.
