Pretty Good Hat

I got out for a too-short bike ride this morning! It was short because my thin gloves were way too light for the 33° F temp at 5:30am. I only made it about a mile before turning around for home because I couldn’t feel my fingers (but at least they had stopped hurting!).

Using nextdns.io for a few weeks shows me just how often my TV is trying (and failing, now!) to call home.

My view of Josh Ritter’s Silo Session tonight: a full performance of So Runs the World Away in its 10th anniversary! ❤️ 🎶

I made a thing in Tableau, and then figured I should validate some specifics with R… and… it matched. So I should probably quit for the day, because honestly it’s not going to get better from here. (Also allowing that I’m precisely and equally bad at both, to be clear.)

I’ve been making time to listen to music before bed lately. The new album from Waxahatchee is so brilliant. And Frank Turner turned me on to Micah Schnabel a few weeks ago. His writing and singing is urgent, cutting and moving.

I missed the live broadcast last night because of My Work, so watching Josh Ritter’s latest Silo Session with lunch is a real treat. It has been special to “gather” with family dispersed far away and share these performances the past few weeks.
