Weekly Notes 2025.23

I haven’t done this often, but I’m going to include a few photos in this update, because… why not? It’s all just food from my trip (which you’ll be reading about shortly). Anyhow… on to the update!

• Monday morning I headed to ORD with some coworkers to fly to Fargo, ND for work. We were originally going to fly out of PIA, but the United flight was delayed enough by early in the morning that we decided to drive instead.
• This was my first time parking at and navigating the external portion of ORD. Overall it went well, but I definitely prefer to fly into O’Hare, not drive…
• Monday evening after we arrived we met our Fargo-based coworkers at Lucky’s 13 Pub, and had an enjoyable few hours catching up.

• Tuesday was planned to be a day mostly full of meetings, which started at 8a. I was up early for breakfast, a tasty Eggs Benedict, and then it was a short drive to the office.

• After work we headed to Würst Bier Hall, a restaurant I first visited back in November (during my first visit to Fargo). I probably should have tried a different meal than my previous trip, but I’m often a man of habits, and I again ordered a Jager Schnitzel Sandwich, along with a few local beers.

• Wednesday started out with another couple of hours in the office, and then it was time to fly back to Illinois! We made it to ORD a little after 1p, then drove back to the Peoria area. I was kind of worn out, and ended up sleeping more Wednesday night than I normally would.
• Thursday and Friday saw a return to the office, with days mostly filled with a combination of meetings and catching up on email, conversations, and work that I didn’t complete while on my trip.
• Saturday I spent a large portion of the day debating/rethinking my note-taking app decisions. I won’t regurgitate the details here, but needless to say, I didn’t get much else done other than some chores…
• Today (Sunday) is Trinity Sunday, which means it’s the primary Sunday each year that the church confesses the Athanasian Creed during Divine Service. I decided to read through all three Ecumenical Creeds this morning during my devotions as well, so that I could spend more time thinking about what they are stating.
• The Athanasian Creed always reminds me of “St. Patrick’s Bad Analogies”, a fun satirical video dealing with the trinity. I recommend checking it out; I tend to watch it a few times a year. 😂

• For lunch, I cooked up a couple of burgers that I’ve had in my freezer, along with some fresh corn on the cob (yum!). And now… I’m finishing up this post!
