Somewhere Friday just went. Most likely in some escapade of restless sleep. For whatever reason Saturday heralded an early morning and now my wife makes pancakes for me. I don't do breakfast so often so when I want, she happily does the...
I’ve decided to implement the human.json protocol on my website as well. Basically, this file is a way for websites to vouch for the human authorship of others. It comes with a web extension you can install that will let you know if a...

My Dearest Elsie, I scarce have the strength to hold this pen, my fingers are near numb from scrubbing silver and folding napkins into what Master calls "swans" and I call "lumpy potatoes." Another party tonight; can you believe it? The...

We are on holiday. The week before the holiday was mostly spent covering for things that can happen during the vacation. Of course, you can’t imagine everything and solve it. But I think the teams are doing okay. So all is well. Uma at...

My warm breath steams up my glasses a little bit. I have my cold pillow resting on my chin. I’m still under the covers. I started my morning with a book, Hot Chocolate on Thursday, a cosy tale that took me to Japan and Sydney all without...
