Today’s cappuccino was good.

It was only days ago that a spider made a home in my briefcase, and today there was a snake in the hallway.

I finished listing to Borne. I liked it. It definitely draws thematic lines right from Vandermeer’s Southern Reach but reads a little more whole as a story? I think.

Also I love this little touch in the app when it’s finished. Off to check out another audiobook!

My son, staring intently at me:

“Dad, I think I see one gray hair right there by your ear.”

Me: “Oh! Well that’s nice of you to point that out.”

Son: “Never mind, there’s a whole bunch.”

Eight-year-old wisdom is UP FRONT, gang.

Today in Brief Moments of Lizard Brain Terror: reaching into the briefcase pocket where I keep my wallet and ID, just like I do everyday, to find it utterly entombed in spider webs and also occupied by a reasonably large and angry (but harmless) wolf spider.

Not gonna lie, there was some suffering on this morning’s spin ride.

Picked up Borne in audiobook from my library, using Libby. It’s an intriguing read/listen so far, and I continue to be really happy with how well done Libby is.

It’s three o’clock and I’m working from home today, so that means… Espresso time!

Added the my site to the indieweb web ring , partying like it’s World Wide Web circa 1995!

Big, solid monsoon thunderstorm over town right now, with weather service warning of flooding for the next couple of hours. Time to hunker in with a coffee.
