1. Berlin, Hamburg, and Copenhagen with the family later this month. Never been and have no agenda, I just hear great things so off we go.

2. I hit that next goal a few weeks ago and never thought to post about it.

   What I came here to post, as I approach dropping 5 more not on purpose but as just, whatever, was that while it was fun and cool to buy all new pants, none of my god damned belts fit anymore.

   I just took one, traced the end, stenciled that back on, and cut a few inches off with kitchen shears, then drilled three new holes in it with my cordless drill. Just fine.

4. I have this old cherner-style (but unmarked) bent ply chair that we bought in terrible condition 20 years ago and used as a side chair until one of the legs snapped. We had it repaired (glued) and then it broke again a few years later beyond repair.
