Bearings

Back at 1601 again.  Some consistent players, some new ones given the different public utility under the gun.  Portrait of the retired Chair hanging in the hall.  New chinstrap or lion's mane beard for the Board counsel.  Preliminary legal skirmishing over a frankly baffling point.  Mix of cross-examination, mostly expected and happily relaxed knowing that none of the responsibility lies with you.  Chess candidates tournament running in the background on the laptop, disappointing results after a solid Hikaru win yesterday, alas.  A few stray pdf references, eventually caught.  Predictable Board members, on top of the issues, and an Application that does not push the envelope looking like a success.  Need to get the time entered to close off another month.  #2 in the young life of our sleeping man.  Unlikely scenarios that have brought him into the world, and the magic miracles of life that keep him going.

Hard to understate how much the pandemic changed.  Still need to adjust to the new life and figure out the nesting plan.  Get writing and do those photo books.  And keep the spirit going.
