November 2019 – While Busy Making Other Plans …

rDay Seventeen-Hundred-Eleven

Seemingly no sooner than the kids arrived, they’ve gone. So it’s back to reading, computing, aimless wandering …

The Day After

Nik left for Seattle yesterday, Ivi goes today. On the way to the airport we stop for a walk through Pioneer Park and the aviary.

Thanksgiving

One by yours truly …

Ivi Arrives!

The next afternoon after Nik’s arrival …

[rDay Seventeen-Hundred-Seven]

Turns out that Nik had to take a later departing flight from Seattle, so he picked up a book at an airport bookstore to help him get through a few hours. He just happened to get Jia Tolentino’s “Trick Mirror”, after browsing the store’s staff picks. And it just happens that Tolentino is a New Yorker staff writer I happen to follow; I was going to try to get a Kindle version as soon as it became available. So, Nik finished it off, and I will start reading it as soon as I complete my current reading assignment, the nearly-1000-page “These Truths: A History of the United States.”
