Sunday Afternoon Coffee

It’s just starting to feel like fall. Let’s celebrate with some coffee. I’ve got pumpkin spice, chicory, and Pilão.

Thursday was a long day. I drove up to Raleigh and stopped in at Quail Ridge Books to pick up my signed copy of Caitlin Doughty’s Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, which came with an enamel pin!

Then I drove a few miles to NC State to see/hear Randall Munroe, cartoonist of xkcd and author of What If and the newly-released How To.

I got signing section B, so I was on the road by 9ish and home by 11. A good thing, too, since I’m told the signing went to midnight or so!!

This photo was taken and shared by Quail Ridge GM Jason Jefferies. I zoomed in and found myself!

Running this week has been better thanks to falling temperatures, but I need to make better food choices. My last to long runs found me stranded. Not a pleasant situation.

What have you been up to?
