computer room setup with Herman Miller

We've been fixing up the computer room because I'm working there more now. Last weekend checked Craigslist for a Herman Miller. We met a guy who had a bunch of them at a storage facility in San Gabriel and bought a used one (we think manufactured in 2008) for $375.  We also got our printer, a brother MFC J985DW, this week.

So 2 of 3 desks and the chair are used.

The work continues.

Paper Gods: A Novel of Money, Race, and Politics by Goldie Taylor (2018)

This is in essence a murder mystery set involving the mayor of Atlanta and other political figures.  It gets at some of the more interesting truths in the world--every cop's a criminal and all the sinners saints-- but was not a very interesting read. It felt thrown together.

Wall of Fame

Spring means spring cleaning and baseball.  We took James' gazillion hats and made a wall of fame for him. In his life he's played now on 6 spring teams, 1 All Star team, 2 fall ball teams (1 was a half season) and he's been in 3 summer camps.

shoes-- Nike Hurricane

Yesterday we bought a pair of 5.5 kids' size running shoes for James from Kids Footlocker at the Arcadia Mall.  They cost $93+ with tax.  Let's see how long they last.

James will be running with me, except on baseball game days.
