Hey, it’s Monday.

  • Spent Sunday afternoon supporting my wife’s cast iron business at a local farmers market. 90F felt like 99F when we set up. Oof.
  • Living life on the wild side Monday morning by upgrading my Debian install on my Emby server PC.
  • Sunday morning Books & Donuts at church is fun and sometimes surprising; Senior Warden on our Vestry has taken up Becky Chambers’ Monk and Robot books at my recommendation.
  • Farmers Market yesterday was a dud; shoppers were as put off by the heat as the vendors were. Good dry run for us though, I guess.
  • Just signed up for my second race of the summer. Have a 5k coming up on July 4th; added a 10k on Labor Day weekend.
  • Having lost a bunch of weight and now getting active this year there’s a renewed sense of physicality that I love - feeling your body tired, sore, healing - feels more alive somehow.
  • Planning to attend a conference in Vegas in August for work. That’ll be my first time in Nevada, leaving me with 3 states left unvisited: Vermont, Wyoming, and Hawaii.
  • Middle kid is in Hawaii right now. Jealous.
  • One of these years I wanna do a road trip across the Nebraska sandhills and get to Wyoming. Have extended family that run a candy shop in Casper. That’s worth a visit.
  • And just like that my Debian upgrade is done. Quick and easy and came back up perfectly.

Stay safe and stay cool, friends.
