It got down to 16.9°F at 10:30am, and is now starting to creep back up.

It’s been lightly snowing off and on all day, and we’ve been promised several days of bitter cold (by Seattle standards).

Started playing Baldur’s Gate 3.

The bambina and I went on a bus adventure today: She showed me around Japantown and Kinokuniya, and then we went to the central library.

Went to a very Catholic funeral for Meghan’s aunt. The family dinner afterwards was really nice.

Made reservations for alumni weekend.

Uninstalled Java from my computer (an inheritance from my previous one, if not the one before that), and upgraded the OS to Fresno or whatever the latest release is (I’ve honestly lost track).

Had Mom over last night for pizza.

The ants attempted another invasion of the kitchen over the past few days, but we seem to have beaten them back again.

A bunch of police cars swarmed around a house just a few doors up the street this evening.

Tonight’s kitchen victory: Japanese (or Japanese-esque) pork belly buns.

Getting close to finishing my hacky posting interface for this here Blurt! site.

The annual reading report.

The dude and I went over to Greg’s to play Magic with his son. We all had a good time; the dude won with a particularly intricate, fiddly deck.

Now to unfuck the kitchen.
