Today is December 2nd and I am backfilling this entry for November. The problem is, I can't remember all the things that happened. Theo is growing so fast. He loves his basketball hoop and blowing out candles. We spent a few days in Marietta for Thanksgiving and got to spend some time with the fam, which was actually nice. The weather is getting colder, sadly, but that's how it goes. At least the mosquitoes are gone.I was reading a few books this month:
- Crumb: A Cartoonist's Life by Nadel -- A biography of R. Crumb
- How to Read a Book by Adler -- Pretty boring but made me feel ok about skimming books. There are different reading strategies, and not all books are made to be read from front to back, once.
- Chip War by Miller -- History of the hardware that powers modern computers and the geo-politics involved
