I’m using the Focus planner in GoodNotes.

I didn’t think I’d enjoy it as much as I am. The coolest feature is the ability to print out completed worksheets with my handwriting on it!

Sunday morning, rain is falling. ⛈

Small-Town America Fights for Its Life - Washington Examiner

More couples meet because of Emerald Isle, and more people get married because of St. Patrick’s. Raising children still isn’t the economic boon it was for the farmers of 60 years ago, but it’s less daunting when you’ve got the parish to help you meet other parents and raise your children in the faith.

Incredible album, all these years later.

Whoa.

I found some presents this morning that Santa forgot to put under the tree. He must’ve been up very late this year.

Excellent present!

I think Apple should get with Goldman Sachs and issue a physical debit card tied to Apple Cash. It’d be nice for them to go head-to-head with the other fintechs doing the same.

I’m still delighting in the new glyphs in iOS 13.
