Updating purely because I’m afraid my diary will get sidelined again if I leave it too long. Deep thoughts are not assailing me much these days, so I’ve nothing in particular to say.

The amount to which I am looking forward to our upcoming long weekend in Boston is ridiculous. It’s only four days, but we get to leave Texas, to see actual trees, to be outdoors in under-80-degree weather, and so on. And hanging out with all the in-laws, going to a big party and staying in a posh hotel are also reasons to be happy.
