#21. Read 4 Non Fiction Took advantage of a day stuck in the jury duty pool to finish this book. An incredibly fascinating history of my favorite American city. With that said, no matter what I said, they still picked me to serve a domestic violence trial. Fun times ahead.

A Stroke of Good Luck

Hard to associate the last week with good luck, but my Dad had a stroke at the right time in the right place. Timing is everything. The future remains bright.

A great follow up to Homo Sapiens.

#74. Write a novel synopsis In addition to a synopsis, I have notes for more than half of the scenes. I’d like to start writing it next year, but I don’t have faith that I’ll be able to find that writer’s discipline again.
