I flew to northern California last Tuesday for a week-long onsite working session. The routine is a bit more established this time, and I’m starting to make some progress that feels like progress…that is, I can actually see stuff on the screen now.

There’s a children’s book called Half Magic by Edward Eager. My sister claims that we both read it when we were kids, but I found I had pretty much forgotten everything that had happened in it (as usual), so it was like new to me. I’m fond of children’s books that are about lazy summers [...]
