Managing a restaurant during this period is brutal. Short staffed, but as busy as we can handle. We were on a waiting list from 11:30am (we open at 11) til 8pm. It’s like this almost every day.

The simple joy of crossing something off of my Teux Deux list as complete.


I pretty much beat up my Field notes books


Got my new Spoke Design pen. Love it, though the first thing I did was change the ink cartridge to a Fisher Space pen refill. Now it’s complete


Had to pull the trigger and get a Thunderbolt 2-3 adapter ($50). The speed of my new M1 Mac Mini is irrelevant when my drive is plugged into a USB port


Set up a custom domain email address in iCloud w/seldom used domain. It worked almost instantly. Might revive use of the domain name. Remember the days when we would all create a website for the most mundane of things. Don’t really have the inclination to do that.
