Day 11: When the Seattle area hits 86° F in mid-May, it’s a great day to sit, read, and move as little as possible. Tomorrow’s supposed to be even hotter.

Year 50 Day 10
Day 10: One definite benefit to working in academia is a more permissive dress code than many corporate jobs allow. And as the temperature approaches 80° F, I’m quite happy to take advantage of that.
Year 50 Day 9
Day 9: Something about this shirt really bugs my wife.
Year 50 Day 8
Day 8: The last of my birthday shirts for this year. A cheery spring shirt for a gorgeous spring day!
Year 50 Day 7
Day 7: Another new birthday shirt! And it’s nice to finally have the kind of weather that really lets me appreciate the balcony outside my office at work.
📚 Cast No Shadow by James Swallow
24/2023 – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Set seven years after the events of Star Trek VI, this does a good job of fleshing out Valeris and exploring the motivations and rationale behind her actions. It also follows up on some of the practical and political fallout for the Klingon empire of the events in the film. Definitely one of the stronger Trek novels I’ve read.
Year 50 Day 6
Day 6: Definitely feeling better than yesterday. Getting a full night’s sleep helped. As did not having to file a police incident report. (And I know it’s mean to tease, but that’s as much of the story as you’re getting right now.)
Year 50 Day 5
Day 5: Going out last night means a tired day today. Add in some stresses I’d hoped not to revisit, and there have definitely been better days.
Year 50 Day 4
Day 4: At the Mercury to celebrate my birthday with a few friends.
Year 50 Day 3
Day 3: A long and tiring day of running around making sure captions work and doing impromptu tech support for professional development day at work. The frog shirt is another birthday addition.
