Momentum is a funny thing. So much of life relies on some element of momentum: sustaining, developing, or being abruptly interrupted. I'm thinking about this a lot because I do a lot of different kinds of work. They're all unified around systems designed for learning or

We're having a lot of conversations right now about infrastructure. Where fences are going to go, where the chickens are going to move to, what gets planted where in the gardens. As part of those conversations, it's been brought up a few times by the family

I've been doing a lot of planning, a lot of editing of gameplay footage, and a lot of the composing of world lore the last few days. And it's one of those funny situations where the more you do, the more you want to do. I
