Exploring the lake 🛶
Every night!
Found another long run loop 🏃♂️
Finished reading: I enjoyed The Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan. I’m simultaneously pleased and daunted by the number of books left in this series 📚
My longest swim yet 🏊♂️
Finished reading: Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky is a great start to the series. I enjoy a good story about plucky humans taking on powerful and mysterious aliens with inscrutable motivations 📚
Tried a new route today 🏃♂️
Finished reading: Shaman by Kim Stanley Robinson is a compelling and richly detailed story about a prehistoric tribe. Since I’m on vacation at a cottage in the woods, I felt a stronger connection with the world of the book than I might have at home 📚
Vacation is going well
Kids are having fun on the vacation
Finished reading: I enjoyed the evil, killer Hogwarts of A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik 📚
Highlight of the vacation is having access to a lake and the time for longer swims 🏊♂️
This will do
Found a WWI monument on today’s run. Despite their age, these are still important reminders of sacrifice
Finished reading: I really enjoyed The Anomaly by Hervé Le Tellier. I think this is the first story I’ve read that really explores the implications of the simulation hypothesis 📚
Finished reading: The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan continues the imaginative and entertaining series 📚
We screeched into the start of this vacation as a smoking pile of rubble after several intense months of work. Time to refresh and recuperate
Impressive harvest from kid #2’s first attempt at a home garden
Relaxing
Found a good spot
