Shine (25)
After a weeks of clouds the sun came back about 1 p.m. this afternoon, lifting my spirits considerably. Of course, as I begin writing this, it just got cloudy again. But I don't think it'll last. our high today was 84˚F, with a heat index of 89˚F.
I began shaking off the haze of the past few days. It was not a tremendously productive day, but it was a step in the right direction. And I got "In View of Nothing" proofed and edited for Bradbury Weather. I'm pleased to see that the science fiction I wrote between 2003 and 2007 or so, in that burst of work in the genre, holds up very well all this time later.
The afternoon's movie was Tarantino's Once Upon a Time Ago...In Hollywood (2019).
And I'm trying to get my head back into the two mosasaur papers. Somehow, the Appalachemys paper coming out last Friday knocked me of course with those. But I got some phylogenetic stuff from Mike Polcyn today, and we're talking tomorrow. I have to get these things finished and submitted. At this point, it's mostly (mostly) just to figures holding me back.
My office window is open for the first time in what seems like forever.
I finished reading Sebastian Faulks' Birdsong today. It's not a bad novel, not at all, but it's by far strongest when it's focused on WWI and not the bits of 1978 and 1979.
Please have a look at the Big Cartel shop. Thank you.
Now...I'm gonna call Sonya.
Later Tater Beans.
