Hello Gopherians! Long time no type.  It's been a while
since I have had an opportunity to jump on sdf.org and write
something. But better late than never right?

Since we last types I've gone throw a series of Linux OS changes,
bouncing around between Elementary OS, Deepin, Manjaro, and
finally Fedora 30 where I am today. I didn't have any particular
reason to jump around other than boredom and a desire to tinker a
bit. So far Fedora 30 Gnome has been stable and a bit boring but
stable.

Lots of things have happened in the real world, my son finished
his Eagle Scout project and had his board of review. I am proud to
report that he is now an Eagle Scout. Good timing going into the
school year, as it's one less thing for him to worry about.

Like most seniors he is sending off college applications and
thinking about the unknowns with excitement that college will
bring. My daughter is doing a team sport for the first time in
middle school and loving it.

And I am down over forty pounds lost on the keto diet in a
concerted attempt to get my blood sugar under control. I can
honestly say that I feel better, am sweating less and in general
am of a better disposition mentally these days. I really think my
unhealthy diet wasn't making things better.

I've still got a long way to go but it's a good start and I feel
like I can continue. I'm still not happy with the current state of
politics, hopefully the next wave will push more of the trash out
for better representatives that put the peoples interests first.

Thats all for now, you all take care!
