Greetings from Institute Park

Wednesday was pretty hot here, though the rest of the week through the weekend has a heat advisory so it's going to get worse. I spent most of it indoors anyway, chatting with my high school friends after lunch and watching the first half of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim with Cel and Laurie, plus doing some writing and folding some laundry. 

We took a walk in the evening when it got cooler, ate dinner, then finished watching the uneven final season of The Bear (plenty of great stuff for Carmie, Richie, and Sydney; not nearly enough of anyone else), and now the new episode of Lucky, in which her father better turn out to be the secondary villain and William Fichtner must die.
