Notes

Our second game went really well. Many improvements over last week, many things still to work on. I love seeing the progress our boys are making.

Game 2 of my first year coaching football season begins later this afternoon, and I am less nervous than I was last week. We had a good week of practice and now it’s time to see what worked and what didn’t work. Let’s go.

According to court documents, Lawrence waived his Miranda rights and told investigators, “I’m toast anyways I guess, so, yeah I did it.”

Wow.

Finished watching the new Apple Event presentation this morning, and I’m now a few grand poorer. I bought the iPhone 16 Pro Max in black titanium and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 also in black titanium. Along with that, I bought Peak Design’s Everyday Case because I love their mobile product line. I’m set until 2027 or so.

After a welcome lull, the skies are thick with fire smoke again. A friend of mine found ash on his car this morning. My allergies went haywire last week, and a day after of clean breathing, they’re acting up again. I need to buy more tissues.

I love the new update to iA Writer, but this little tidbit has me super excited:

For quick access to your most important folders, add them to Favorites. That way, they’ll always be visible in the Organizer, and you can quickly dive into your active projects. Favorites are platform-specific. In the next step, we are planning to sync them across your devices. (emphasis mine)

Can’t wait.

I came home last night with a few boxes sitting by my front door. They contained some comic books I am super eager to read soon:

• Houses of the Unholy by Ed Brubaker, Jacob Phillips, and Sean Phillips
• Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli
• Saga Volume 11 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

First game is in the books. Lots of lessons, lots of memories.

My first football game is in a few hours, and I am nervous. Should be fun, though!

My marigolds died.
