you, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure

    I meant to pre-post a bunch this weekend, but life (yet again) got in the way. spent the early part of the day assembling (yet another) new exercise bike. It took far longer than I'd expected - in part because I was texting the entire time with my boss. He'd initially contacted me to say that he'd picked up my new work computer and could be bring it over. Imagine, the owner of the firm offering to deliver a computer to a new employee who's fully WFH, on his weekend. Amazing.While he was on his way here, we chatted about a couple of cases we're working on, comparing opinions and ideas. Throwing out legal arguments and a lot of inappropriately juvenile humor. When he arrived, he plopped the computer in my arms and said, "There." 
    Also finally hung some pictures on the walls, and boiled some eggs, and cleaned. And watched a couple of movies (reviews to come!). And texted with big brother.
    This coming week will be very full. COVID booster tomorrow, plus a 5k on the treadmill if I can after the shot. Monday is a new-hair day, and working about 10 hours besides. Tuesday and Wednesday are "normal days"--and then all of a sudden it's Thanksgiving. When did it get to be fall, much less winter? Was I asleep for a couple months?
    Oh, right, I was moving and changing jobs. Funny how that makes it possible to blow through time like it's not even there.
