Today’s bird treat was seeing an entire flock of Red winged blackbirds at Brookside Gardens today. I’ve seen one of two sometimes as they’re on the hunt for food near the ponds. But today there were a dozen in a field pecking happily away at the ground.

Walking into Chick Fil-a tonight, my wife and I find our table and set her phone on the number. This triggers the app to alert the staff we are there and to deliver our food.

The guy brings our food, looks at my wife asking, *Annie… pause and friend?

Made my night. 🤭

I did check with my wife of 11 years whether we were friends. She said yes. Best friends.

Work: You’re doing the jobs of two people. Which part would you like to keep and we will hire for the other part?

Also work: We had someone take a leave of absence. Can you take on this massive project that this person was doing fulltime?

Know anyone in the Gaithersburg/Rockville, MD area (DC suburb) that would love to administer and evangelize Webex and Zoom for an events company?

My job has outgrown me and I need reinforcements. We’re doing cool stuff. Who are we? www.intellor.com

Not bad, Oregon

Waited for the sun to go down then took the longer version of the walk nobody knows about with my wife today.

Had a wonderful chat about dreams, love, support and the idea of Enough.

I just watched Tenet.

What a fun ride through time and events.

Working my way through the Jerry Bruckheimer Criminal Justice Cinematic Universe.

I do not need a Kindle Oasis. I do not need a Kindle Oasis. I do not need a Kindle Oasis…

I’m leaving for my first trip out of the area since 2019 tomorrow. How many clothes do I need? What should I entertain myself with? How does travel even work anymore?!

Taking the Amtrak for the first time (in years) to NYC for a long weekend. Going to MOMA, Guggenheim and Botanical Gardens.

Rather than aiming for balance, we should aim for harmony. All the areas of our life are like voices in a choir. We need to make sure as they sound together they harmonize. Sounding in harmony takes work, but when you get it right it’s a beautiful thing.Source: Principles for Smarter Work - Adam Tervort - Thoughts on Work / Life Balance

I love this.

Search Party is an incredible ride. Just finished our multi-day binge of all four Seasons of show which is (in order) a Mystery, Legal Drama, Psychological Drama.

Superb.

📺 Search Party on HBO

It’s… Hard to describe. It’s a wild ride of a show. My wife heard about it from the My Favorite Murder podcast.

I hope Stitcher never sends Roman Mars the jingle. Listening to him sing the jingle at the end of 99% Invisible is like waiting for the end credit scene after a movie.

🍿 Love Death + Robots

I may have accidentally watched all of the new episodes in Netflix and greatly enjoyed them all. I love the short scifi story format.

🍿 Halfway through Anon on Netflix as well. I like Clive Owen. And am enjoying the premise.

📚 Finished Lee Child’s Tripwire.

And right on time Running Blind (by Lee Child) has shown up from the library.

Chrome intermittently deciding not to handle Zoom Webinar links has made for a fun day.

Northern Flicker 📷 🐦 I’ve seen different woodpeckers in my yard before. This is the first time I’ve seen (and was able to capture) this one. Beautiful birds that love our huge black walnut tree.

📺 Milo the Goat is the true hero of Shadow and Bone.
