Today is the 10th of February. I have already voted more times this calendar year than any other year in my life. Pending any more resignations or vacancies, there are at least three more elections to go between now and November.

Biased, but as an architect and former NSO subscriber I’ve always loved the Kennedy Center’s louche magnificence. A red, white, and gold Airport Terminal for the Arts. It’s not great, but it is grand. A throwback to when we sort-of looked forward.

I can’t believe:
American Prometheus wasn’t the longest book I read this year.
I had never read War and Peace before
I only read two books about Guadalcanal
I resisted the urge to reread Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
