Connections

After last weekend where my only social excursion was a routine of visual beer puns from the owner of a craft brewery, this weekend has been packed with seeing people and also a lot of eating. Vietnamese for lunch Friday, beers with an old colleague that evening, picnic in the park Saturday. Mother over for dinner. Pizza parties and then Italian dinners.

The New York Times, host of Wordle, have a new game called Connections that has added some variety to my life once a day. The premise is that you find groups of four related words, but some words are ambiguously in two categories to throw you off. My social interactions are similar to this premise. Alumni from university, former colleagues, current colleagues, family, ex-teammates, wedding partied, high school friends. Many across multiple of the above.

It is nice to have connections.

I ate a duck, mushroom and cherry calzone for dinner tonight. Sharing this because I don't think I'm ever likely going to be able to write that again.
