8/1: lots

Many good things!  Waking up early without an alarm, having a meeting with an advisee, beginning to read a new novel, reading an interesting article in the NYTBR which explained why Roald Dahl's books might be especially effective as audiobooks or books read aloud, writing a bunch of business emails that I had been putting off, realizing that writing the emails wasn't as taxing as I thought it would be, talking with a friend and covering much various ground, having the chance of rain disappear so I could go kayaking, said kayaking, trying the fisheye on my camera, eating popcorn for a late dinner, realizing that though I could eat popcorn for dinner it wasn't as satisfying or fun as I thought it would be and so switching fare.
