T. went back to school today. All is well.
It’s over 90 degrees. Yikes.
I walked with M. at 10; by the time we got back around the loop, it was already 80.
I read _Stark’s Command_. It is milsf, by an author I like, altho this is earlier work. I enjoyed it, and will finish the trilogy, probably in the next day or so. A bunch of names familiar to reader’s of Jack Campbell’s Black Jack work appear here. Including Geary, behaving in a recognizably Jane Geary sort of way.
Here’s why I wound up reading the next book, even tho I said I wasn’t going to because I hadn’t bought it yet and was really trying hard to read what I already owned. I was recently deleting a bunch of email, and in the course of searching for I totally forget what, but somewhere buried in a folder I keep somewhat random receipts in, I stumbled across some receipts from Baen eBooks. From 2012. For obscure reasons, even tho I bought from Baen in that time frame _and_ that was the same time frame I was originally setting up my LastPass, I either did not put the Baen eBooks account information in LastPass or I deleted it on some later date. Who knows — I sure don’t. FWIW, I set up the password manager in october, and my last receipt from Baen seems to be spring of the same year. I originally bought from Baen before I moved to Massachusetts; it has been a while!
Anyway. I did the password dance, got the info into LastPass and started poking at what books I had in my account at Baen eBooks and lo, there were the Stark’s War books (among other things). I figured out how to get a usable format over to my kindle library and read the second one. And I now have the 3rd one as well. Normally, I would have rebought over on kindle, but this is mildly cooler. I may or may not transfer over everything else of interest (lots of Honor Harrington books, for example, that I don’t own in ebook form over on Amazon), because it looks like you can now stash stuff in your kindle library, and not just on a device. Which is better! Altho they show up as Docs not as Books. *shrug* I think I have the JAG in Space books over on Baen, too and also do not own on the Amazon side. Ah, format changes and curating shit. So very GenX of me.
It does get me thinking a bit about other things I may still have lying around in virtual format somewhere that I have forgotten about. The lack of a physical reminder matters.
ETA:
We went to The Cabot to see Dar Williams and Bruce Cockburn. Really good show, and we were kinda at the young end for the crowd. I got us balcony seats with aisle behind us, and to the side of us. Seats are new as of 2019 and there’s plenty of knee space. Delightful! They’ve been renovating The Cabot in stages since 2016, and it’s in really good shape now. For Seattle side folks, it reminded me a lot of the Neptune, altho I have no idea where the Neptune is now in terms of condition.
T. was working so A. was home by herself. We didn’t go out to dinner, so we wouldn’t have to leave her alone for so long. Less of a security issue, more just that she misses us (or at least me, LOL). She was fine. When we got home, she was in bed and asleep.
