Fri Jun 8 09:12:56 EDT 2018 Slept from eleven to seven. Woke briefly around six. Mostly sunny. High of eighty-six. Work: - Brainstorm storage ideas with Scott Done. - Continue notes for IT strategy discussion with Julie Done. Twenty-minute walk at lunch. A little warm, but not as bad as I expected. Saw a red-winged blackbird and a cardinal. Home: - Update Golang - Play with D&D stuff (take a stab at a Woodsman class?) - Clean home a bit - Is my router's web interface accessible from outside?! No, it's fine. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XsY534OvO41SmCK17PSVb2kdy2sL9X0Z/view Oh, man, Anthony Bourdaine died today, aged sixty-one.

Though Bevel no longer teaches, his reputation’s reach was reflected in the makeup of my class.
