Business trips seem like fun, but the days get long… left the hotel at 7:30 to head to the workshop. Workshop went until 5, then group dinner until 8:30, then drinks at the hotel with a smaller group. Not back to my room until 10:15pm. Need to be out for day 2 at 6:30 in the morning. Oof.
It’s Library Board meeting time! I’ve missed a few due to work travel… good to be back. Public libraries are special institutions that serve our communities with so much more than just books. They need our support.
Well, it’s been a week. Haven’t said much here, mostly because I don’t really have my thoughts sorted yet. I am thankful to have a local faith community where I will be able to show up on Sunday and be built up. And then next week will be another week. Onward.
Tonight’s movie: Death on the Nile (1978). Peter Ustinov sounding a lot like Prince John from Disney’s Robin Hood. David Niven. Mia Farrow. Angela Lansbury hamming it up. Jane Birkin. Maggie Smith looking for all the world like Tilda Swinton. A classic Agatha Christie story. Good fun.
Had a really lovely time last night eating dinner at some new friends’ house. Sat around and talked until way too late for this old guy. This morning: need more coffee. Also: can’t wait to do it again.
When I started my keto diet back in January, I still really wanted some kind of purchasable breakfast option for days when packing two meals didn’t work. Turns out you can order a Chick-fil-a grilled chicken filet with egg and cheese on top. I’ve eaten a lot of them this year. Still tasty.
2024 Reads: Moonbound by Robin Sloan 📚
Well, this was delightful. Hints of Monk & Robot as well as Narnia. So imaginative.
My daughter is soon to need her own car, and one option is to give her my RAV4 and find something else for me. Looking around, though, not sure there’s any current car I’m too excited about. Figure I’d best just keep driving what I’ve got!
