We got five inches of snow over night. I think the probability of a white Christmas is high.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it drives home how handwritten notebooks are the technology of thinking. Not much is covered about how information was retrieved from these historical notebooks, it’s more about the process of writing and thinking.

First substantial snow fall of the season nets us a couple of inches. I’ve seen reports of up to 5 inches just a couple miles south.

First day on the patio when it’s cool enough to need a hoodie. Still the cicadas that are in the sun are making their sounds of summer.

During our staycation this week we have been going to restaurants that we have never been to before. Last night we went to Mother Handsome for pizza. While there are many carry out pizza places near us, there are not many pizzerias, this one was ten miles away.

For some reason today is the first time this year I have been outside on the patio. My excuse is that we had a colder than usual early spring and a hotter than usual late spring with some travel.

Between the second and third innings we were herded out to the center field fence, which enabled me to take this picture from on the field during the game.
