I just hope somewhere along the way I helped at least one person. I love speaking about SQL server and love helping others even more

If this does end up being my last session I just wanted to thank all the folks that planned the events. I learned so much and will be forever grateful to the community. FYI, Health is not the reason I probably will no longer speak. It has been a great ride!

Since then I think I did 68 SQL Saturdays and 35 user groups. On this journey I met some amazing people and found the SQL community to be very welcoming and fun!!!

Thanks to all folks who planned and volunteered at SQL Saturday in Boston! It was a great event! I delivered what may end up being my final SQL Saturday session. Presenting at SQL Saturdays and user groups started in Indianapolis 10 years ago.

I am looking forward to presenting my PowerShell for the SQL Server DBA session at #sqlsatatl this weekend. The again in two weeks at #SQLSatJax. Where I will also present a new session on Securing your Azure SQL Database. It is going to be fun!!!!

After taking a long time off from speaking due to medical issues, I had the honor of presenting to the Iowa user groups over the past couple of weeks. Thank you to the organizers and attendees. It was fun to speak again!! @QuadCityPASS @YetAnotherSQL @MoyaJuanM @sjacker

Call for Speakers for PASS Data Community Summit 2021 is open and I've just submitted a session!

Over the weekend I renewed my MCT certification for the 22nd year. Only time will tell if it will be my last, depends on how the year goes.

Data Platform Downunder Meetup Group is live with 6 sessions scheduled to kick start your 2021 #DataPlatformLearning #AzureSQL #SQLServer. Signup now to learn from these wonderful #SQLFamily Speakers -

Finally, after spending the last 7 weeks recovering from Covid, I was able to return to work today!!!! It was great to back. Thanks for the many well wishes during that time. Especially @kleegeek @YetAnotherSQL and @pshore73. The emails and check ins were a great help!!!!

Finally I am home, this time for good!!!! I am feeling better than I have for weeks!!! Now to rest and work on a plan to get back to what I love doing.....working with and teaching Sql Server!

While I cant present my session as scheduled or attend any sessions this week, good luck to all the presenters andattendees at pass summit. It is going to be a great event!!!!! So many great sessions. Thank you to the organizers for all your hard work.

A bit of a set back Friday and am back in the hospital. Good progress made over the weekend and hopefully going home soon.

Thanks for the many get well wishes. I am home now which is great!!! I am still on oxygen and will be for about 6 weeks. But slowly getting better. Scorecard: Dave 1 - covid a big fat zero!!!!!!

What Pass giveth covid taketh away. A couple of weeks ago I was honored to be asked to present my session on how to survive an audit. Today I had to withdraw because I am currently in the hospital with covid. This makes it impossible to get the recording done. Covid sucks!!!

I just signed up for #passpro. If you enjoy Summit or SQL Saturdays, you should look into signing up as well!! There are many great benefits!

Thank you to everyone who attend my session on How to complete a server assessment at. #sqlsatiowa . Also thanks to the organizers as well, job well done. I am still trying to figure out the teaching remotely thing.

Thank you to everyone who attended my session, "How to tell if my server is having Memory Pressure" at #sqlsatalbany. The files have been uploaded. Also thank you to the sponsors and organizers!! Hopefully I will be able to visit in person next year.

Listening to @SQLFlipFlopsDBA talk about Azure SQL DB in the @ONSSUG meeting. It is a very good session, great information. When done on to #chisql and @DesertDBA .

Finished my tsql class tonight. It was great to add these two books to the recommended list I give my students. @SQLZelda @LisaGB_sql
