New phone, so it’s time for the flip side of the experiment: can I tolerate a phone UI in garish color?

Once fall weather arrives, every hour of sun feels like we’re getting away with something.

Haven’t picked up Why Buddhism is True for a couple weeks now, and I wasn’t reading all that quickly or diligently before, so I’m going to put it aside and start reading … I don’t know. Something else. I’ll be back to this at some point, though.

Joined the dude and a couple of his friends for a game of EDH. Managed to eke out a victory with Sevinne over the dude’s brutal cats deck and my sea monsters deck one of his friends was running.

Rearranged the living room, cleaning and vacuuming and culling as we went. Exhausted.

Decided not to waste another year, and relaunched the site. (No, the reference doesn’t really make sense.)

Passerby: “Choose a different hat, that looks ridiculous.”

Dithering and fiddling with the last bits and pieces of reimplementing https://pile.org/ in Hugo. Will switch over before iOS 13 ships with dark mode.

Magic today with Greg and Greg’s friend Steve and the dude. My Shirei deck worked perfectly; Sevinne never really got going.

Today’s earworm: “Spinning Wheel” by … Three Dog Night? No, Blood, Sweat & Tears.

New earworm: “Joy to the World” by Three Dog Night.

Tonight’s kitchen victory: beef braised in Barolo; Mom came over.

Played Wingspan at Tessa and Breck’s with Meghan and acquaintances.

Serious thunderstorm last night: One lightning was basically right above our house.

First day of school for the kids. Had lunch with Meghan at the Fat Hen, and dessert at Honoré.
