Go from overtired to playfully over-caffeinated with three closely-spaced servings of stong coffee.

Tough times in Puppy Town
Inaugurating the movement of my Den to the main floor of my house with a viewing of the R40 concert film. Playback started before wiring was complete, but halfway through everything seems well dialed in.
Excellent game #Hufflepuff! Congratulations!
You represented us well, #Slytherin!

When the dogs sleep on me, it feels like love. But? Maybe I’m just a heated dog bed
Had a strange thing happen in October. Had a very intense dizzy spell that just did not abate. Part of the treatment involved an antibiotic for an ear infection. There was a period when I could hear nothing through my left ear. While the infection appears to have cleared, my hearing hasn’t recovered. I can hear more than nothing, but much less than before, and oddly, at times
I will see ENT/Hearing specialists next month. While there may be hope of more restoration, I find myself fearing the worst.
And more than that, I have been feeling I haven’t been nearly grateful enough for the joy that music brings. I haven’t been grateful enough for the awareness of what happens in my environment that hearing brings.
As a side sleeper, when I sleep on my right side, I can’t hear much at all.
This is all very worrying.
“The future is here. It’s just not evenly distributed,” said Bill.
Have I peaked?
Is that the right question?
Is that the wrong question?

My top three. I have had these locked in for a while. So these are my picks for tonight’s announcement:
As a #Slytherin, happy to see my House make it to the Grand Finals. Questions were really tough tonight! #TournamentofHouses
Aftermath: I think we have a foot of snow to move. Fresh-fallen slow is beautiful on a clear morning. We have the right tools to cope. But many people in different parts of the country woke up to destruction and loss from an incredible tornado. That is deeply sorrowful.
Just set up Logitech Flow to share a bluetooth keyboard and mouse between a MacBook and a SurfaceBook. This is an exciting development for my home office, and working from home.
It’s a paid feature, but Inoreader can turn public Telegram channels into feeds you can follow.
Tip of the hat to #Ravenclaw for the win tonight. We shall meet again!

My house is competing tonight. #TournamentofHouses #Slytherin
This was a great night for #Hufflepuff
#TournamentofHouses
First questions were super-easy. Dueling Club questions got hard. This is good! #TournamentofHouses #Slytherin
Super impressed with the attention to detail in #TournamentofHouses. Lovely Easter Eggs
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.
I just renewed, carrying me into 2024. I must have done something similar last year?
Was just introduced to the ideas of Ken Wilbur’s Integral Theory via the SLOWW Sunday newsletter.
There’s a lot to unpack, here.
