I’m experimenting with different ground cover. I am hopeful the Corsican mint will thrive in some of the shady bits of the yard.

It is difficult to not giggle when I say creeping thyme.

Tonight I went on a proper mid-week date to see a string quartet play LOTR music in an old church by candlelight. It was lovely.

It is interesting to see the OCC changing direction on bank participation in cryptocurrency. I suspect the risk management requirements are going to evolve after a few bumps in the road.

Banks In Crypto: The OCC’s Quiet Game-Changer

The OCC policy is finally clear that national banks can provide cryptocurrency related services as long as the banks do so in a safe and sound manner.

There has been a bit of a cold and dry weather in Portland recently. It has been really nice to see the sun.

It is January. There is record cold on the East Coast. California is on fire. In Oregon, my rosemary is blooming. What a very strange time to be alive.

I happened upon someone I had not seen in a decade. They vented about being sick to death of people who like hiking or D&D. Then they asked me what I had been up to. They looked astounded when I said work, studying, hiking, and D&D.

Thanks buddy! I appreciate it.
