Stayed up too late last night watching baseball. Wish my team were still in it but glad to not be living with those levels of stress past my bedtime.

Fun evening at the high school seeing the theater kids do an adaptation of Dracula. I think they were having fun doing something a little creepy. Audience was having fun, too.

Update on the card catalog: looked at it, decided not to buy this one. Somebody had painted it navy blue, and the paint job was actually pretty good but it now gives “country kitsch project” vibes rather than “old tired wonderful library” vibes. I’ll keep looking.

On my bucket list of furniture for my home office (that’s a weird thing to say, I guess) is an old library card catalog, something like this. I’m a library lover and nostalgic, I guess. They’re… remarkably hard to come by and usually pricey. Gonna go look at one tonight that might work, though.

A wooden card catalog cabinet with multiple small drawers and three fold-out writing surfaces is shown.

So far today I’ve watched a close end to Ohio State - Indiana, a nailbiter in OT for Florida State - Miami, seen Auburn upset #1 Georgia, and BYU survive a last-ditch attempt by Notre Dame.

My team, Nebraska, didn’t start until 20 minutes ago. No way I’m gonna stay awake for this one.

2026 Reads: Christianity and Evolution by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 📚

Ran the prices and for this week’s business trip it would’ve been about the same price for me to Uber to/from the airport as to drive my own car and park it there all week and hike in from the long-term lot. I’ve been driving/parking at CID for 25 years. Would be a hard habit to break.

2026 Reads: Diamond Mask by Julian May 📚

Dang it now I wanna just jump into the next (last) book in the series.

As a Cubs fan I can’t really bring myself to cheer for either the Brewers or the Dodgers here in the NLCS. Guess I’ll be pulling for the AL in the Series. Apologies to my one Brewers-loving friend.
