Week One
I spent the first week of summer break doing next to nothing. A lot of Civ VI, some perfunctory pokes at Taxonomy III, some reading, some cooking.
I'm working on a new system, as far as cooking goes. In the past, I've typically fixed a big pot of something on Sunday and eaten it all week. Last week, though, I made a batch of chicken/sausage soup, but only ate two helpings. The rest, I bagged in servings and put them in the freezer; I spent the rest of the week on scrap meals - a baked potato here, bacon and eggs there. Right now, I'm making some of that turkey chili I had last Christmas. I'll eat two helpings of that, then two helpings of the soup, then finish the week with scraps. Starting the week after, I'll be able to have two helpings each of three different dishes, and do something else on Saturday.
I have figured out how to write Taxonomy III. I was trying to introduce all of the new machinery at one gulp, and it wasn't working. Now, I've separated it into several coherent pieces, each to have its own section. I've also learned a few more things that will go into the later sections - stuff I'd suspected was true, but wasn't able to prove, until the newest pieces of the new machinery came on line.
I think I'll make an Amazon run tomorrow. There's something I want to get for my brother Don, and a copy for myself; I want to add to my selection of country - Reba McEntire, Willie Nelson, maybe Loretta Lynn; and there are a few more books and movies I want to pick up.
Somewhere along the line, I'll have to get my hands on the new Differential Equations textbook. I'll be teaching that in fall, and it's been a few years. (DiffEq is the one major area of math that I didn't study in college, but I've learned to appreciate if not like it. Better that than College Algebra!)
