So, I love Kyle Hendricks, but it’s about time to DFA him, isn’t it? #cubs #mlb

One more flight to get home. In theory if I had a rental car here from ORD I could be home sooner than this flight will get me home. But that would mean driving four hours… out of Chicago… during rush hour… Instead I will sit here and eat dinner on the company dime.

2024 Reads: The Future by Naomi Alderman 📚

Not subtle, but imaginative and entertaining. Worth a read. Four stars.

Spent an hour with Apple tech support trying to figure out why my MacBook just refuses to show me the Hilton Honors captive portal screen so I can login. Got escalated to second tier support.

Quick jaunt to DC to start this week. CID ✈️ DCA direct!
