A. Morning Musings

6:50 am

Another sunny day, although the forecast high is a bit lower. There is quite a difference between +30 C and +36 C. But +26 C is more to our liking. I am enjoying the calculus activities, but am having difficulty getting motivated for the abstract algebra. I should finish the Kafka book today and hopefully, will find time to continue reading Taleb. Much like yesterday. But right now, I am dragging. A second cup is needed.
