Took the kid to the Disney 100 Exhibition that’s in town, before school starts up tomorrow. Fun time, and some Star Wars stuff for dad.

I just knocked my unread e-mails from over 6,000 to zero. And my total e-mails, read and unread from over 10,000 to under 2,000. There is still more work I could do, but this already took over an hour. I'm annoyed that I let it get so unwieldy but I'm feeling better about its current state

Got up at 11am , made coffee, went to my moms, took the dog out, and now I’m waiting for my dad to pick me up for another coffee.

Later, dinner with my girl at home. We will watch a bit of golden globes and big brother.
