06/03/24: Just the Highlights
Well, it’s been a minute.
Since my last newsletter, a lot has happened. Here are the highlights:
Nox escaped the house making both of us quite anxious for two weeks. When he came back we put him in a harness with an air-tag to prevent future escapes. Unfortunately, it made him so sad that we eventually relented.
Spring semester at the college ended with the usual stress, angst, and relief.
I read some very good books, Blitz by Daniel O’Malley, Wicked Problems by Max Gladstone, and some merely okay books which, in general, I can’t recommend.
I spent an awful lot of time playing Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (thank you, Kevin, for the loan of your Switch). It’s a great game (and I kind of want to get a Switch, but that happens whenever Kevin loans me his. However . . .
We also just bought a new car (which Oof, and Yay!). We ended up with a Kia EV6 Wind. It is a very nice car and the first new car that we’ve ever owned but I hate car buying and having a car payment isn’t my favorite either. But, we’ve got an electric car now and we’re still figuring out all the features.
