🏃♂️Nice zone 2 run with some pickups
Lettuce seeds are germinating. We might have lots of salads to eat in a few months
Finished reading: An Emergency in Ottawa by Paul Wells is a good, short read on a very consequential period in recent Canadian history 📚
On two occasions I have been asked, “Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?” … I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

🎵 Don’t Test the Pest by Pest Control will give you the kick in the pants that you might need to get going
🎵 Perhaps In Sides is Orbital’s best album? I could listen to The Box, Pt. 2 on repeat for a while
Finished reading: Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells is another fun, short Murderbot story. I like that these are staying simple and sarcastic📚
Best feature of the hotel: two fresh pancakes with the press of a button
Finished reading: Enemy of All Mankind by Steven Johnson is fascinating. The importance of a seemingly small incident is really well explained and shows how such a thing can reverberate through history 📚
Finished reading: The Scout Mindset by Julia Galef includes some good tips for keeping an open mind and incorporating constructive feedback 📚
Glow in the dark mini golf
📺 Star Trek: Picard (Season 3) - ★★★★☆
Definitely the best of the three seasons. Leverages a lot of nostalgia which is okay with me. Nice to clean up after the Nemesis debacle and give these characters a proper ending.
So impressed with this team. My niece has been great in net. 🥅🏒
Finished reading: A Beginner’s Guide to the End by B. J. Miller and Shoshana Berger. I’m grateful that I didn’t need to read this book now. That said, this is an important topic, best thought about when it isn’t an emergency. Despite a few America-specific points that don’t apply to this Canadian, there’s lots of useful and careful advice in this book 📚
🎵 10,000 gecs - 100 gecs - ★★★☆☆
A good workout album: fun, quirky, and upbeat
🏃♂️ Good trail on today’s long run. Fun to slog through mud on occasion
We enjoyed the Stranger Things Experience. A fun mix of live, interactive action and pre-filmed material.
A nice view for my cycling avatar that makes me keen for winter to end. I’m looking forward to riding outside again 🚴
