Down to the last 5 hours of the Shantaram audiobook now. It's been quite a listen throughout. Enjoyable but an emotionally devastating roller coaster as well.

Went back through some of my 2016 - 2017 era microblogs to see if I referenced watching any season 5 episodes of Person of Interest and I did not. "Why did I stop watching season 5 in 2016?" and "Why didn't I ever finish it?" remain minor mysteries to me. I vaguely remember some fairly major events happening that have not yet occurred by the end of episode 8. If those aren't false memories I've clearly watched a few more of the remaining five episodes.

Thomas Tuchel joins the leaving in the summer management trend. If they lose to Lazio he might be done sooner. What a strange season for Harry Kane.

Whelp, we're back to the damp, drizzly, and unseasonably warm February weather again. My main objection is that that it's hard on our deck and the wooden furniture on our front porch, otherwise it definitely beats the usual winter cold.

I never finished Person of Interest even though I absolutely loved that show. I really need to finish season 5 while it's still available on streaming (currently just Amazon's FreeVee).

This week's The Extra Inch actually had similar thoughts to my own about Son and Maddison both being seriously off form. I liked their idea of starting Werner on the wing with Son in the middle and bringing Richy on later. Maddison wasn't as good as Porro has been on corners- we really missed the defender's offensive creativity.

Always nice to have a meeting canceled on the day I have the most meetings.

I must say RPG in a Box looks pretty amazing! I've been a fan of the voxel aesthetic for years, but being able to create voxel based games like that is particularly exciting to me.

We got more snow overnight and it's still coming down. Guess I'll get to work on the driveway!

My department's yearly Fantasy Football league has an amazing trophy now with spots to recognize past winners. It's pretty funny how seeing that trophy made me feel kind of interested in participating again!🤔

I'm intrigued by Google's Gemini Advanced because they're bundling it with Google One and the 2TB of shared family cloud storage. It also has a two month free trial.

Looks like we're going to have typical February winter conditions for a few more days. Snow and dry cold is a nice change from the fog and heavy dampness that started in late January.

Boros Burn continues to be pretty fun as I work my way towards platinum. Also got off to a good 2-0 start in a premier draft on my secondary account with what basically ended up being Rakdos Removal Control. Have yet to see any of my best cards so maybe that's a promising sign.

It's amazing how annoying it is to configure Mail to Swipe to delete. Talk about a buried setting.

Colder than it's been lately and two or three inches of snow so far. Surprisingly enough they're still behind on plowing all the sidewalks and walkways on campus. Sounds like many of the roads are quite icy and slick.

I need to take a walk and see how much snow we've got now. My drive into work was cold, but completely dry. It was only after I arrived today that it started coming down.

Two thirds of the way through Shantaram now and what an absolutely tragic gut punch. I had some inkling of what was coming based on a few accidental spoilers I'd read, but it didn't play out remotely like I had anticipated.

TIL that a single hard pound on my dashboard can in fact bring the instrument panel back to life when it has failed. Very clear that at some point I just need to re-solder the connector pins.
