Slept from ten-thirty to six-thirty.
Woke briefly around three.
High of sixty-two and partly cloudy today.
Work:
- Review invoices
Done.
- Work on leasing desktops
Done.
- Check DNS records for Outlook autoconfig
No.
After writing out the threat scenarios, I realized encrypting swap, encrypting secrets, splitting passphrases — it's all obscurity not security.
Cut it.
Simplify.
Twenty-minute walk at lunch.
Partly cloudy, pleasantly cool.
Home:
- Change car insurance if new title received
Done.
- Drop off pants to get hemmed
No.
- Buy Red Wings shoes (next to the old Harmony House on Woodward)
Went, but didn't buy.

> The Roman banquet evokes voluptuary images of men in togas reclining on couches and glutting themselves on wild sow's udders and stuffed snails, while servants stream in bearing platters heaped with heavily sauced and delicately spiced foods from all over the world: ostrich from Africa, pepper and sugar cane from India, cumin from Ethiopia, sumac from Syria, olives from Greece, and that perennial Roman favorite, the fleshy homegrown fig. Wine is drunk in copious amounts from double-handled silver cups, while a lyre plays in the background. There are performing troupes, poets, even the occasional leopard, and sometimes rose petals flutter down from on high. One sadistic host, the Emperor Elagabalus, built a banquet hall with a false ceiling that tilted open, allowing a torrent of flowers to rain down upon his unsuspecting guests, smothering to death those unable to crawl out from under the floral deluge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glirarium
> A glirarium is a terracotta container used for keeping edible dormice. These animals were considered a delicacy in the Etruscan period and later in the Roman Empire.
> The container consists of a vessel, usually in terracotta, perforated to allow the passage of air, polished on the inside to prevent escape and with a lid to seal the top. Inside there are two or more shelves placed against the vessel walls and additional holes in the bottom of the vessel, generally more numerous than those on the sides. By inducing hibernation via darkness and confinement, the glirarium would cause the dormouse to fatten.

The Red Wings sales guy was really helpful.
Red Wings Oxfords probably have too stiff a sole for me (though the boots are nice, if I was looking for boots).
He recommended Ecco shoes (a brand) or Allen Edmonds in Birmingham.
Allen Edmonds: not really my style.
Ecco: maybe.
Watched anime.
Started reading Anne Carson's Bakkhai.
