The New World of Lonnie Mandigo

The day unfolded through meaningful exchanges: journaling methods with Jim over backgammon, celebrating Sydne's post-op clearance over Mexican food, initiating solar panel plans, and exploring information theory at the Andromeda meeting. Between backgammon moves and Minecraft sessions, life assembled itself from conversations about energy independence, portrait photography opportunities, and getting a stubborn cat to use her fancy litter box. Sometimes productivity means connecting threads between people and possibilities.

Yesterday delivered small satisfactions—contractors dumping dirt in my backyard, assembling Trouble's fancy litter box, warehouse progress in Minecraft—until my phone decided to spontaneously broadcast street noises just as I was going to bed. No call, no explanation, just mysterious audio that required a reboot to silence. Not every day needs a grand theme, but apparently some days need unexplained technical weirdness to remind you that attack surfaces deserve more attention than you've been giving them.
