It feels like the year is winding down, and I’ve been reflecting on the effects of ketamine therapy, goals I had set, and preparing for a bit of surgery scheduled for tomorrow.

My favorite Athens event is this weekend. The Wild Rumpus, where thousands of creative costumed people take over the streets of downtown Athens, is here! I’ve been cutting, bending, and hot gluing cardboard all week.

A new nail salon opened up down the street today, so of course I had to go get my nails done.

I made it through the whole month trying hard not to do things that felt like work (other than my actual work). Things like figuring out why my microphone wasn’t working, for example. But now it’s October and there are things that need doing, so I started by digging out my backup mic so I could say hi.

Bethesda’s Starfield game came out last week, and that’s pretty much all I’ve been up to.

Each year, I try to spend the month of September doing not much of anything productive. Most years I don’t quite succeed, but this year is looking good.

It’s been a lot of logistics to plan and execute, but my eldest has successfully begun their sophomore year of college in the big city.

Went out to see Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX, mostly so I could see my former professor and later friend in the best possible cinematic quality.

I’ve been testing recipes for a new cookbook that combines two of my favorite things: Hobbits and New Mexican cuisine. Inexplicable, but I’m 100% here for it.

I’ve been reclaiming space in my office and putting good use to my regular shipment of storage bins.
