this week i

updated our estimates of the impact of pre-existing conditions protections, with new family-wide statistics.

spent the weekend in lancaster.  high german spoken by bonneted faces, bluegrass billie jean in the central square, brew-chanan in worst former president park, unclear why not andrew johnson.  we assembled two raspberry pis, reviewed euclid's, euler's proofs of infinite primes, tidal-locking.

live another day together.  when you go to a restaurant, you see people who will be in love.  just, everyone sitting together now, looking at one another's faces for thirty or ninety minutes, having a moment.  even if they're salespeople.  even if they're rivals.  everyone at every restaurant is there because they value the person at the other end of the table enough to share a meal with them.  we might mistake it for not love, not love, just friendship, just business.  but one day they all realize, we all realize how few and special the people we spent our time with are.  life feels long while it's lived, short as it ends
