Shorter than a blog post.

My favorite new coffee shop is in a restored Victorian house that was once a funeral home. The historic preservationists who worked on this project deserve an award for the amazing work they’ve done to turn the house into a coffee shop and apartments.

After being sick last week, my sleep schedule is all kinds of messed up. It’s not insomnia… I’m getting sleep. But I get tired earlier and then wake up in the middle of the night. I’m like a toddler who has their days and nights mixed up.

I have to pack up my cube to move to a new office in a couple of weeks. While I’m looking forward to having walls and a door again, I’m not ready to pack everything up. I’ve been in this spot for six years – longer than I’ve ever been in a work space before. Going to feel strange to move.

When I see people arguing about Mastodon vs. Bluesky, I realize that we need to ask an important question:

What do you want from social media?

It’s not about what service is best. It’s about what’s best for you. And that answer is going to differ from person to person.

I’ve been sick for the past few days. Pretty minor symptoms. Pre-COVID, I would have just toughed it out, but now I take even minor symptoms seriously. I don’t want to get anyone sick.

(FYI: Just got back from the doctor. All the tests were negative. I just have a bad cold.)

Taylor Swift put on an amazing show last night in Atlanta.

My daughters are making sure the whole family has appropriate attire for tomorrow night’s Taylor Swift concert.

Spending the day at the coffee shop with my daughters who are reviewing for AP exams next week. I’ve been working on finishing up the revisions to my journal article, but I keep going down rabbit holes…

The willingness of my children to wear mismatched socks perplexes me greatly.
