Three things this week

One — I rewrote a small script I've been using for years and discovered that what I thought was a feature was actually a bug I'd grown attached to. The bug is gone now. I miss it a little.

Two — Kayla and I walked the long loop at the park on Sunday and talked about nothing in particular for an hour. I'd forgotten the texture of that kind of conversation. The trick is not having a phone in your pocket.

Three — A recipe for braised short ribs that I attempted on Friday produced something closer to leather than meat. I'm pretty sure the problem was the oven temperature and not the cut. Trying again next weekend.
