Tsundoku: A Japanese word for the pile of books you mean to read.

Really appreciate all your answers @KyleEssary @mwerickson @dwalbert @JohnBrady @ablerism @todd@social.lol and @davegullett. Mad Farmer Liberation Front was a great intro and it seems Jayber Crow is a popular choice. I’ve put a list of all of them though.

Wendell Berry fans, what would be a good place to start?

Saw superman and really enjoyed it. I thought pa Kent was perfect. I also think the “superman’s gone woke” folk are really just telling on themselves.

Sometimes I just had a downer day (today is one) and it always helps when I acknowledge it and remember it will pass probably by tomorrow morning. This is me reminding myself. Honestly, I’m so grateful that I know this bouts do pass so quickly, I know other people really struggle with ongoing depression and that sucks.

Finished reading: Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson 📚

I preached on 1 Kings 20-22 this weekend (yeah, that’s a large pericope if ever there was one!) So instead of reading all three chapters, I used sketchnotes to help summarise and get the main story points across (and also function as multilingual slides).

My wife asked me who issued my passport. After reading HMPO I guessed: Her Majesty’s Passport Office. But I checked and my mistake was clear. His Majesty’s Passport Office. I’m not sure when I’ll get used to that.

The Wieliczka mine big band back for their summer concerts. So much fun taking the kids along. It’s amazing the power of live music.

Standback! I’m about to attempt “vibe coding”…
