Monday evening at The Schuster Center, 50+ employees had an incredible training session on how to deal with a mass shooter incident. When I began teaching, nearly forty years ago, this was not even a blip on our radar. April 1999, everything seemed to change with the massacre at Columbine High School. The trainer was one of Dayton Lives own security personnel and he was most excellent in his presentation.

Today is already off to a cooler, rainier morning as rain showers and potential thunderstorms pass through. The Miami Valley. 71 degrees is the expected high for the day with temperatures mostly remaining in the 60s.

I was in bed by 9:30 PM, having gotten precious few hours of sleep the two nights. Last night, being prepared for a nice, deep sleep, was not to be. I slept only 30 minutes of each of the eight hours. The approaching rain was bullying my body. Naps may be on my personal forecast for today. We shall see.

Tomorrow is Colonel Deed’s surgery. I have everything ready to go for his arrival at 8 AM, and another set of items prepared to go for his retrieval anytime after Noon.

It is time to move some of this day along. Make it a great day!
