I had thought Olympe Maxime was a giant, but confirmed through references that she indeed is a half-giant.

Had to look up the gifts in 12 Days of Christmas. I had a solid 9 out of 12, but several in the wrong places.

It’s after Thanksgiving so it’s okay.

Speaking of newsletters on Sunday, Explorator News is wonderful. It is self-described as archeological news of the week. It’s a collection of links to articles organized by topic, includes diverse sources, and is itself free of advertising.

Inoreader has a special for the next few days: 18 months of Pro for the price of 12.

Long ago, when I was a boy, in the summertime my grandmother used to put brewed coffee in the refridgerator for my grandfather. He would then enjoy it as an iced beverage in the heat of the day.

My wife and I hosted, inviting others to join us at our home. Everything came together in a way that was greater than the sum of its parts. I’m grateful to have a home to share, and surplus to share within.

I personally have no problem with this.

I know people just want to hear specific songs, but I have always felt an album was a statement and was meant to be consumed as a whole unit.

Evidence of this from the CD era is Prince’s Lovesexy album. It was released with all of the songs on a single track. If you wanted to get to a specific place, you needed to fast-forward or rewind much like with older analog mediums.
