Day 492: Low-key Tuesday

[eve_prime]

Today I spent hours finally writing a blog post about the George Packer talk I saw in 2018, which is now the basis for a chapter in his new book, and which appeared in The Atlantic this month. I also bought groceries with J, read outside briefly, watched half a Monk episode, and tired myself out getting yet more blackberry vines out of the back yard. At this rate, it will take two sessions to clear out the vines under the apple tree and one each for the rose bed under the garden window and the "pit" where the deck used to be. If the weather stays cool enough, I suppose I could be done by the weekend? Then I can finally call the clean-up guy to haul it all away.
