M turned 53 today. Nonmeditation tonight because we spent too long in town, eating fancy pizza and cheap pie. The latter with an old friend of mine from high school who has been a great friend to us both since we moved here.

It was a good night of delicious gluttony. He will fish tomorrow and I will grade papers. If I could stay on task better during the week, I wouldn’t be grading papers on the weekend, but the level of organization and focus that requires has been impossible for me to harness in the last year. My goal for tomorrow is to try to get half done on Saturday, so that Sunday isn’t a total loss.
