Super-excited to learn that a little bookstore is going to open nearby, in a month or so.

Was irked, so wrote a mild rant.

I’m writing my own decoder for multipart/form-data content, if you’re wondering how my day has worked out.

The bambina heard a rumor this evening about a kid planning to take a gun to the middle school tomorrow, and a short time later, the school district announced that both the middle school and high school were closed. Highly likely the kid is a victim here; I hope things turn out okay for them.

Watched Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse with Meghan and the kids, after the bambina watched it for English class. We all loved it (again in the bambina’s case).

This afternoon’s kitchen victory: one quart of vanilla extract.

Walked up to get the brake-challenged car from the shop: about 13k steps, 7½ miles, 2¼ hours.

Today’s kitchen victory: Thanksgiving dinner was only an hour late to the table. Everybody brought good food and had a good time.

I’m in the kitchen, chopping carrots and watching the bread dough rise and listening to Meddle; the dude and Billie are in the living room, animatedly talking politics.

Played Magic with my brother and his son on Saturday evening.

Wrote my own UTF-8 decoder, for secret stupid reasons.

Finished a years-overdue project at work this week, quite a relief.

Meghan and I went to Place Pigalle for our anniversary lunch.

Played hooky this afternoon and walked from Northgate to Greenwood and then home: about 19k steps, 9½ miles, 3½ hours.

For the second evening this week, both kids are out with friends, this time for assorted Halloween shenanigans. Meghan: “High schoolers!” Me: “I know! We should have more!”
