I did another Racket recording:
Finished Reading Saigon by Sam Hawken 📚I really enjoyed it. I don’t love suspense or violence and this story had manageable, interesting, levels of both. I cared about the characters. More importantly, I cared about Vietnam. A few typos but nothing that took away from the story.
A bridge, or perhaps a highway overpass. My last time on a train, heading south to DC, sometime the summer before COVID.

Something is down? Who cares, I have micro.blog for company.
My favorite knife is sharp. I carry it with me and use it almost every day. Mostly for the lunch avocado, yum.

Day 1 touch
We’re having outdoor theater tonight. I watch the AV guy touch the equipment. I’ve done a bunch of sound in my time. It’s fun to watch someone else set up.

Finished reading: The Paris Library: A Novel by Janet Skeslien Charles 📚I did not love it. While the setting, Paris during the German Occupation, was interesting, the book seemed more like a YA novel than a book for adults.
Good article about mRNA vaccines
Your vaccine history may help with your COVID vaccine. Yes, all the vaccines, people!
I re-read the Foundation books earlier this year. Overall, they have not aged well — one thing is that it’s all so male! Even so, I’m looking forward to seeing what Apple TV does with what is really a very odd story.
Finished reading: A Closed and Common Orbit: Wayfarers 2 by Becky Chambers 📚I loved it. I mean, it’s not great literature, but it’s fun, has interesting characters, and is a thoughtful portrayal of a future with sympatico AI. What does it mean to be friends with an AI?
