that when gmail's editor ate the completed draft of my notes yesterday, i did not try to recreate them but instead laid on the couch doing nothing
for, even when it's frustrating, the novelty of losing something in the age of infinite storage
for the years i have been able to spend with the gmail inbox app, which is probably the most i have loved an app (twitter ios app a close second), and that i still have a few more days with it before they sunset it next month

that though the thai place we prefer was closed because it was sunday, we got thai from the other place and it was much better than we expected (for fish sauce and lime juice and coconut milk)
the results of the query for youtube "4k walking tour videos", which are pleasing and slow (especially for the one in myeong-dong in seoul, where i was able to identify places we had walked when we were there last year)
