Summer Fridays, Open Thread

I’m observing summer Fridays here at KDO again this year, which means I (mostly) won’t be posting here on Fridays. If past years are any guide, this doesn’t actually have too much of an effect on how much I work or post…more of a redistribution of time & effort. But it’s nice to have the extra non-weekend day to catch up on other things. This morning, I lounged in bed a little, sat on my deck and read while drinking my morning chai, and stared off into the distance on this lovely day. Then I need to finish mowing my lawn after posting this.

Since it’s been a bit since the last open thread, let’s convene one today. What’s been going on in your neck of the woods? Anything you’d like to share with the rest of the group? Do you have something fun coming up? Something you’re dreading? How can we help? What’s the best thing you’ve seen or read or listened to recently? Got a new project? Or an old one, rekindled?

Open Thread #3

Well, I’m back from my west coast trip, but I came home totally sick, the SSL cert for KDO wasn’t automatically renewed1 so the site was down for several hours this morning, and my car has decided it’s suddenly out of brake fluid? Oh and I haven’t even seen Project Hail Mary yet. (I know, right?!??!??!!!)

*sigh*

I know when I’m beaten. It’s gonna be KDO Lite for a few more days while I get my life in order. In the meantime, talk amongst yourselves…
