Made it to YOW plenty early for my flight home… turns out US Border Patrol doesn’t open until 0500. At least I’ll be within the first dozen in line once they do…

I knew that the WNBA audience has grown substantially this year. I was still surprised to turn on TSN here at my Canadian hotel and see the Aces-Fever game on. (I’ll forgive them for the crap video quality, which might be the hotel’s fault and not TSN’s.)

Summer has been for family trips and fun; fall is apparently now for work travel. 5 of the next 9 weeks I will be out for at least part of the week for meetings or conferences. Today: CID -> ORD -> YOW. 🇨🇦

If one of the Desert Fathers had training as a lawyer and wrote a Substack, you would get something like this book. Gandhi: super-weird.

Look I know we’re only 6 quarters into the season, but this Nebraska football team looks WAY better than they did last year. This is fun to watch.

Sitting out on the drive with a fire going and the football game on. The kid is there in person. #GBR #football

PRd my 5k this morning! (27:55 still has lots of room for improvement!) Beautiful chilly morning for a race.

There are days where work drives me bonkers; there are other days when I come away deeply appreciative that I work with some fantastic engineers doing really good stuff. Today is one of the latter. Thankful.

Nice cool morning to get out and run. 5k nice and steady. Running my first real race in several years on Saturday.
