Hello, friends! I'm heading to Germany tomorrow for a work meeting. It will be the first time I've traveled internationally since the Before Times™. I feel very out of practice. I wish I were going somewhere that I'm familiar with, but I've never been to Frankfurt. Alas. At least I'll have a new airport to add to my list. It will be my first airport with an IATA code that starts with F.

There will be no newsletter next week.

Stuff I read

'This gym is something special.' A community's goodbye to Indiana basketball landmark. — If I win the lottery, I'm going to spend part of my money preserving these old gyms. High school basketball in Indiana is something else.
Malicious compliance: a story — Spaf is a national treasure.
The world the 747 didn't predict — It's easy to forget how world-changing the 747 was. I'm sad I never had a chance to fly on one.

Follow the books I read on Storygraph.
