My town – Champaign IL – is in decline, it seems to me.

My industry – software – produces crappy products and is explicitly user-hostile.

My final professional focus – Agile – is dominated by charlatans and people who care only about money.

My country – USA – is desperately doing anything it can to avoid facing its mounting problems.

My body – 1959 model – has decided it’s time for everything to be achy most all the time.

I have a cold.

This sucks.
