Man oh man. Somehow the pandemic killed my interest in/addiction to this site. I haven’t even logged on since April, I don’t think. I’ll have to ponder how that happened... Also, the pandemic has meant that I no longer look out an office window two days a week at the Hurley building. What’s going to happen with it?

I never realized that such a massive building, consuming the better part of an entire city block, could be so inefficient with capitalizing prime real estate.
