It’s 11:30 pm, but it feels like time is on vacation somewhere. It can stay gone as long as it likes as far as I’m concerned.

Today I checked off another book from the 100-books-to-read-before-I-die list. The Picture of Dorian Gray. I think this one is worthy of the list. I liked going through and marking off the books I’ve already read. I also marked off a few I’m not interested in. And if you include the six I have been in the process of reading for some time now (three of which are on no one’s list), that leaves 52 more to go. But I have time. You know, since I don’t plan to die anytime soon.

I also relearned how to solve the Rubik’s cube today. I’m up to 4 minutes (give or take) from the 1-minute-58-second personal best back in the day. I’m happy with 4 minutes. The world record is about 3 seconds, and I saw a video not too long ago of a guy who solved three cubes simultaneously as he juggled them. Whatever.

I’ve been battling the flu all week, so this surge of energy to solve cubes and read books and clean closets (one closet) feels good. I feel normal again. And look there, I posted something. I’m doing all kinds of crazy things today.
