Summer Plans

Taking a week off from work to go and visit a bit of Ontario with the family and just reset the tempo of my body a little. We’re off to Niagara for the first time.

It’s been a mentally exhausting 6 months. We have a pretty busy summer ahead of us, so maybe this week is the calm before the storm, ahead of our eventual move, again. While the house is ‘fine’ the school hasn’t really connected with the boys at all.

Summer has officially begun and I have a ton of books that I finally want to either get into or finish, specifically Notes on Being a Man, One Day, Everyone Will Have Been Against This, Tigana, The Long Ships and if I get time for the last Silo book, Dust. That’s five books in 2 months.

I go through waves of what comics to read. I think I am in the mood for some noir. Maybe finish Stray Bullets, 100 Bullets and Sin City. I’ve read parts of these series at different times throughout my life, but have never the completed the thing.

Having just binge watched the last season of The Bear, I might give that entire series a rewatch. It won’t take very long and honestly, I imagine I’ll pick up a lot of things that I didn’t the first time I watched the series.

I have gotten back to writing again. It’s still super early in the process, but the working title is Phoenixes and it’s a family story that I feel I was born to write about.
