There are few better ways to nourish your soul as good as spending an evening with close and dear friends who have moved away.

Wisdom from an old friend
Brian David-Marshall and I have known each other for twenty years. He played a small but pivotal role in me starting the podcast that led to me working for Wizards. And I just loved this post from him for how true it is.

Chapter a Day?
I had an idea for a service that lets you read a book via email. Like, it sends you a chapter a day. But, maybe you're busy one day and you don't have time to read the whole thing, only reading 1/2. Well each paragraph would have a "stop here" link. And tomorrow's email would pick up there.
Truth is, I don't know if I'd use a service like this. I find it hard to imagine that I would read something, but maybe having it delivered in chunks would make it more likely. No idea. But I found the idea for being able to mark where you stop interesting.

It was a productive day. From brunch with a few friends, and then running a few errands like getting a haircut, hitting Costco, and grabbing a few things from Fred Mayer. But it didn't stop there, then I did yard work with a quick bit of weeding, then picking up fallen branches in the yard, and then mowing half of the backyard.
"Expectations are shortcuts to disappointment."
A YouTube comment I came across today. I am far more optimistic and so that quote is more negative than I usually think, but there is some truth which rings in it.
