Day 184: It was quite the rainy and blustery day today. Calmed a bit by the time we were leaving, but I’m glad this was a day when I didn’t have to go running around campus.
Year 50 Day 183
Day 183: Nothing of particular interest today, except that an evening throwaway “gotta post something” picture turned into one I actually kinda like. Might want to try to remember what I did for this and try again after I’ve done my usual monthly trim and de-scruffing.
Year 50 Day 181
Day 181: Sitting here trying to figure out what to do for a photo when my wife decided that she could help. And she did, to everyone’s amusement.

Year 50 Day 180
Day 180: While we share laundry duties, folding sheets is always my responsibility. Partly because my arms are long enough to do it more easily, and partly because I have, if not mastered, at least approximated the dark art of folding fitted sheets.
📚 Escape Route by Cassandra Rose Clarke
61/2023 – ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The last of the three Prodigy middle-grade novels. Where the first two were set roughly during the break between the first and second half of the first season, this one is set during the gang’s shuttle trip to Earth. In need of a spare part for the shuttle, they find a mysterious moon that may have the part they need…if they’re all allowed to leave.
As with the rest, it’s another fun, quick adventure. To my (50-year-old) eyes, when reading all three back-to-back, it suffered a bit from having so many similarities to the first book, also by the same author: a search for a missing part leads the crew to a mysterious location where they get captured and have to figure out how to escape with the part they need. But for the age range these books are actually aimed at, the similarities might not be as noticeable.
