2025 Reads: We Did Ok, Kid by Anthony Hopkins 📚

I’ve enjoyed Hopkins since seeing him in The Remains of the Day. His memoir here is brisk and easy to read, but you get the sense that he has slowly done the work to come to peace with and acceptance of himself. May we all be willing to do that work.

Apparently there are vendors now that will make custom tropical shirt fabric prints; my department found one and now we have shirts with our test aircraft on them, including the correct N-number. Yeah, we’re nerds.

Last year we didn’t get snow until after Christmas. This year: on Thanksgiving weekend. I’m guessing about 10 inches. Cleared 6 driveways and sidewalks this morning! #Iowa #winter #snow #iawx

Oh man, a lot of thoughts. Really disappointed by the second half of the book. Blog post will have to wait until tomorrow.

Paul Kingsnorth’s book Against The Machine is the most thought-provoking thing I’ve read in a good while.

After doing a more modern music-themed piece for my most recent cross-stitch, I’ve decided that mid-century modern album art is my sweet spot. Just finished the pattern for my next one, based on this cover. Need to pick up a couple thread colors tomorrow.

Well that was a beautiful morning for a run. Maybe could’ve pushed my pace a little harder but I went into it saying I’d be happy if I ran consistent 9’s and I did!
