Fri. June 12, 2026 – home again, and glad

Hot, humid, sunny, some clouds. At least I’m guessing that is today, based on late yesterday’s weather. The weather in the Caribbean was nicer.

So yesterday was a travel day, and that meant mostly a sitting around the airport day. We didn’t want to rush in the morning, but didn’t have a good plan for what to do with the day, so we ended up sitting and reading at the airport. The issue was mainly what to do with our luggage if we wanted to do something. Dragging it around with us was not a real option. And the kids were tired of moving around. Naturally, after being at the airport for hours, our flight was delayed by a leaking hose… Did get home only an hour or two late.

Today will be a start to catching up with all the stuff I missed and put off by not being here. That’ll be super fun times…

Followed by more adjustments to the stacks. Several people mentioned after yesterday’s post that they stopped worrying about it since they had no control over what happens. While it’s true we can’t control the events, we can control our reaction to them and the impact they have on us. THAT is why we prep. And stack.

    Friday. Good morning!

    Welcome home, Nick. Sometimes, just get to the airport and wait is the best option, even if there is always more waiting that one wants.

    Half-day off work today, so busy now getting stuff out the door before I leave, and briefing colleagues about what to do in my absence.

    The weather is like in November, cold and constant rain. Driving will be no fun, but W1 and I have symphony tickets this evening, so we have to get there somehow.

    Brahms ought to be worth it. We’ll see (hear) about Bartók’s violin concerto… not sure it will be to my taste, but am keeping an open mind. The organisers always put the doubtful work before the interval. If they did the headline one first, half the audience would leave at the break and not come back.

    W1 wants sushi for supper, so that should be nice.
