What's Happening Now(ish)
Last Updated August 18,2026
I'm ...
- Finished up a year's worth of photo-of-the-day postings. Great experience and nice at-a-glance journal of that year. Now trying to figure out the next photo moves. I joined Channel City Camera Club this month and we will see where that goes.
- Had some big car expenses so decided to park it, and us, for the summer. The Mary Jane McCord Planned Parenthood booksale is on the horizon!
- Searching for a month-at-a-glance style pocket calendar for 2026 and 2027. 2027 is easy enough to find, but 2026? Guess I need to plan ahead better.
- Mulling a NYC trip for the fall.
- Putting some T&E into learning unix, openbsd, web services, vi, links -- all the cool stuff. As long as my patience lasts, this is fun!
Books in my reading pile
- About to be many more! (See 'booksale' above.)
- Regime Change
- My Year of Living Biblically
- Hope in the Dark (loaner)
- A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland and The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides
- Endless pile of New Yorker magazines
Library Books
- The Invincible Brain Returned, 8/21/2026, mostly unread. Sleep, exercise, eat well, challenge your brain, have a sense of purpose, socialize.
