Friends asked for favorite holiday movies. I said mine will always be The Ice Harvest, www.imdb.com/title/tt0400.... Great cast directed by Harold Ramis. Very dark & hilarious. Best holiday dinner-table meltdown ever (at least until the Seven Fishes episode of The Bear). What are yours?

Finished John Irving’s Queen Esther. Enjoyed it very much. If you liked his older books, esp. Cider House, you’ll like this one.

It was a cold and cloudy day today but the Google building didn't care. It was showing off some new glass and a shiny corner of the building I've never noticed before.

Great fun being back at #midwestgridfest today with @midwestcrossword.bsky.social. I did just as poorly as last year, so I’m consistent.

Excited to start listening to the audiobook of The Shattering Peace by @scalzi.com. Has been awhile but I loved all of the OMW series.

Saw Bad Shabbos today. Dark and hilarious. Old ladies behind us seemed totally horrified by the story, which only made it funnier.
"Bad Shabbos" is playing here this weekend and I think I need to go see it even though Kyra Sedgwick, Milana Vayntrub, Method Man and David Paymer sounds like casting Mad Libs

Why would anyone want to be in Chicago in August? Because the sunset views east and west are spectacular, showing off some of Chicago's oldest and newest architecture. Dearborn bridge looking west and from 330 N. Wabash, looking east (IBM Building now the AMA Plaza or the Langham Hotel).
