+## Meta
+
+Several people in my circles have been attemtping weekly-ish posts summarizing
+things they've been doing, thinking, reading, watching, etc over the previous
+week. I really like that idea, so I'm going to give it a try.
+
+## Doing
+
+Last Friday night, {{% tess %}} and I took EJ to a [Bay FC][bfc] game with some
+friends. It was her first sports event, and a good game to boot!
+
+I've been playing a lot of Minesweeper the last few months as an idle activity.
+Mostly, I use the [lofi & games][lofi] version because it's simple and easily
+accessible.
+
+Inspired by the hype around [SwiftUI][swiftui], plus my fascination with
+Minesweeper, I've been working on a SwiftUI implementation of the game for
+myself.
+
+This is my second week going to the gym on a regular cadence to do some
+exercise. I've been using [Apple Fitness+][fitness] workout videos and trying
+not be feel too uncool being the person doing a workout video in the gym. I'm
+learning some exercises I can use to build my own routines though, and they're
+definitely good workouts.
+
+## Reading
+
+[The Deep Sky][deepsky] by Yume Kitasei. A murder mystery set on a space ship on
+a long-term mission to colonize another planet. Given to me by a friend last
+winter.
+
+[How Reporting on a 1978 Proposal to Ban Gay Teachers Changed My Understanding
+of Queer History][gay-history]. Slow Burn's current season is about the Brigg's
+Initiative, an attempt to ban gays and lesbians from working in California
+public schools.
