There and back again without incident. Neither of the airports were on The List, which I’m sure helped. Other than a bit of weather-related delay coming into BNA, the flights were as boring as they needed to be. I got caught up on magazine/journals and finished Frankenstein. Somehow I had managed to avoid this throughout high school and college, and it was nice to finally tick the box. I liked it, and agree with scientist daughter that no one (to date) has actually made a decent adaptation for screen. “Now,” she said, “we can all watch the latest version when it streams and share our disappointment.” Sign me up!

We started Pluribus last night and are deeply intrigued. Little bits of The Leftovers, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and house favorite Rhea Seehorn is just too much to resist.

Looking ahead, the cold weather makes its move this week; we’re supposed to see the mid-20s. Other than a sore knee that I got by absolutely eating shit on an uneven sidewalk while running in California, things are pretty good. The big sales meeting went well and it was good to see everyone face-to-face.

Bookwise: continuing The Idiot. Frankenstein was a nice detour. Will probably pick up Breakneck: China’s Quest to Engineer the Future by Dan Wang. PJ Vogt interviewed him for the latest episode of Search Engine and it sounds really, really good. Will probably also revisit some of the theology texts from our first year and work my way forward as a sort of ongoing project.
