Did

June 2: Lifted some weights in public.

June 6: Went to the Botanic Gardens with AV and EV.

June 7, 10, and 11: With TAW, gave the same paper three times in a five-day span. We learned some things, boy (most of all that we're a good presenting team and that we have good ideas).

June 14, 15: Saw the Pirates in person at Coors Field. Had tickets to the Sunday 16th game but Paul Skenes' start got bumped and it was a billion degrees so stayed home.

July 13-August 7: Moved quietly around my house. Sorted lego, built lego, gave many lego objects away, played lots of solitaire, contemplated, puttered, rested.

August 14: I went with Chipper and Meggy to the History Colorado Center to do some research for another project, and while there we saw the "Colorado in 100 Objects" exhibit. LOVED IT. Unexpected joy throughout - an artifact from the Lindenmaier Site, the flag flown by the Colorado First at the 1862 Battle of Glorieta Pass, Jack Swigert's Apollo 13 coveralls - I MEAN. So many things I appreciate in one room.
