Didn’t realize Wilco tickets were going on sale until an hour before hand and I managed to grab a pair!

Finished reading: Mornings on Horseback: The Story of an Extraordinary Family, a Vanished Way of Life and the Unique Child Who Became Theodore Roosevelt by David McCullough 📚

Ending the year with a Bravus Gravitas IV. This is one of the best beers I’ve ever had, no qualifications. If you’re on the NA beer train (or even if you aren’t), I highly recommend getting on their mailing list for next year’s release.

📝Out with the old, in with the new (notebooks). For my pocket, it’s the new Field Notes Craft Plus. For my desk, it’s a Leuchtturm RED DOTS in Army.

I’m giving myself a New Year’s gift of podcast & RSS bankruptcy. With few exceptions, I’m marking everything as played/read and unsubscribing from the shows/feeds that haven’t been resonating with me lately. Onwards to 2023 …

Has anyone tried Rewind.ai? I have an invite for the early access and am both fascinated by and terrified of the idea.

I love this place. Kings Peak Coffee, Salt Lake City

I finally bought my ski pass for the season. Hopefully this will motivate me to get in shape! ⛷️

⚽️ Hearts-Livingston. Hearts could really use this one before the World Cup break.

🏀 Watching Celtics-Grizzlies. My Celtics have had a tough schedule to start the year.

It’s 71° and humid here in Connecticut on November 6th. I had to get my shorts & sandals back out. 😰

“Feast” is apparently not a word in my day-to-day vocabulary. I can’t think of a way to use it in a post that sounds like something I’d actually say.

Does anyone have a Readwise Reader referral that you’re willing to share?

I deeply regret the time, over 6 years ago, that I gave a political candidate a $5 donation and somehow agreed to a lifetime of unblock-able text and email spam.

I figure a second espresso on a grey, rainy morning is the right call.

I’ve been wondering when the new “Orders” button in my Apple Wallet would do something. An order from Lost Art Press showed up a few minutes after I placed it.

Hearts and Chelsea on at the same time this morning. The Chelsea game is obviously on a different level of skill, but I think Hearts are more fun to watch. ⚽️

I don’t feel good about this: VAR comes to Scotland

I’ve been gravitating towards Scottish soccer recently, in part due to the relative simplicity of the league. VAR seems to make everything more complicated, creating as many problems as it solves. ⚽️

A Day in the Life, 2022-10-14 at 8:13a, Nortwest Connecticut, USA.

I try, both literally and figuratively, to put my boots on each morning and get to work. Some days are more successful than others.

Finished reading: Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson 📚

Wow, that was fun.

I did not know that Shantaram was being made into an AppleTV series (starting this Friday!). I loved this book and hope the show does it justice. 📚

I gave the updated Spark email client a trial run. It’s nice, but I’m not to pay for a subscription. I have a few simple filters in Fastmail to separate newsletters and “other stuff” from email written by actual humans. It isn’t as pretty as Spark (or Hey), but it works.
