Somehow Made it to Here

Kid bedtime changes are doing well. Still high intensity, but at least we're getting more sleep. Work has been high intensity, too, but overall going well. Had a nice team week onsite at our office for the wider Android Stylus Team.

Anyways, I keep putting off writing and then trying to reconstruct my thoughts instead of just, you know, write about what's going on, so skipping over a lot of things to about the present.

We're currently all in Cleveland for kid's April break, visiting my parents, and it's been 2.5 years since we were last all here. Nice to be here for Passover. And my sister, Melissa, is visiting with her family, too. So I get to spend some time with my new baby nephew, Simon, which is really great!

Travel went smoothly. Nice to take the new Green line connection on our way to the airport. We ran into one of Eris's school friends in the terminal, which was cool. COVID situation still looks very alarming, though how bad is still TBD. At least we escaped getting sick pre-trip. (Very much hope during as well!) I'm very glad to be here, but also feeling very exhausted. Travel is always pretty tiring for me, and I was pretty tired to begin with.

All right, I guess I'll loop back to some recollection:

My indie tabletop RPG group has been playing Sig: City of Blades (a Blades in the Dark-style with a setting that's a bit of of off-brand Planescape). It's been fun so far.

I've been able to have some fun playing Magic: Arena, though I can't build all the decks I want to and I've been perma-stuck at Platinum rank in constructed.

I finished watching Eighty-Six, and thought it was pretty good. Doesn't overreach with it's ending, but I think it earned a little dwelling on its epilogues.
