Hope you are all staying warm enough. I leaned into my fake retired lifestyle by never changing out of my insanely warm pajama bottoms yesterday.

The City of Atlanta failed me yesterday; they picked up my recycling, but not my trash.

This should be a good week for getting indoor chores done. All I have to do is resist the urge to burrow under covers and watch YouTube.

Wordle: three, my starter was SPITE. I feel there will be a lot of deuces today.

Ah Valentine’s Day. The day in which you get to star into the eyes of your loved one and profess how much you love them. I wonder what that is like…

While I am still plodding my way through “Gödel, Escher, Bach”, and “The Art of Fermentation”, I have also issued myself the challenge to read all of Ian Fleming’s Bond novels this year. I’ve owned (well, digitally owned, which is not real ownership) the first five for a few years now and am finally making a concerted effort.

Wow! What! A! Game!

Is it evident that I didn’t watch any of the Super Bowl? It was the first time in years I wish that I had been invited to a Super Bowl party so that I could go to someone’s house and eat $100 worth of deviled eggs.

On Saturday I ran into an old acquaintance, Clarissa, who twenty years ago used to write a blog called “Romanlilly”. That was one of the blogs which inspired this space, and may have been the source of my fake German word “Dangen”. Running into her made the insanity of going to Your Dekalb Farmers Market on a Saturday, and the Saturday prior to Super Bowl Sunday, okay.
