Weekend coffee #152.

After making two Thanksgiving dinners in a week and driving more than 200 miles yesterday to drop everything off, I’m publishing a day earlier because while I’m destined to work at some point, I’d like to pretend to have off. Started this morning with my annual tradition of leftover pie plus a giant cup of coffee and Gilmore Girls, followed by taking down the Thanksgiving decorations so I can put up the Christmas stuff. And since it’s 70 degrees in November, I took the dogs for a four-mile walk, too. In honor of the holiday weekend, here’s the latest:

• The Joylessness of Cooking

• Why I’m Mourning the Arecibo Telescope

• I Think About Carrie’s Farewell Dinner a Lot

• Phoebe Bridgers covers Merle Haggard

• What realtors are finding in empty offices right now

• 250 Days of Daily Pandemic Drawings

• Cori Bush: My Secrets to Thrift Store Shopping

• Verdigris: The Color of Oxidation, Statues, and Impermanence

That’s all for now. Time to dig fiber optic Santa out of the garage. Until next time - thanks for following along and be well.
