Reading
- I read Wayne Urban’s More Than Science and Sputnik.
- I'm still reading Edwin Black's IBM and the Holocaust.
- I watched the season finale of Game of Thrones. I've read the books so I knew that would happen... But still.
Family and Friends
- I saw Kate Bowles and her daughter (briefly) on their way to LAX and home to Australia.
- Kin was in San Francisco for a day, then up to Eugene to bring his daughter down here for the next six weeks or so.
- My Granny is doing worse, then better, then worse, then morphine, then better, so I don't even know.
- My kid [redacted]. I've been a mess this week, so thank you to all the friends and family who've been here for me.
