Running Minecraft on a Mac SE
Facebook Marketplace is filled with civilization's cream of the crop, including this guy Logan who was upset at my lack of a direct answer when he wanted to know if my 1980s Mac SE would run Minecraft. Dude.
Swimming
I woke up at 04:32, so I turned off my 5am alarm and got moving. I did briefly flirt with the idea of another twenty-eight minutes of sleep, but I knew I'd never actually get to sleep, and if I did, it'd be rudely interrupted.
I was swimming at 05:12. There was an electrical storm off in the distance. I half expected them to close the pool, but they didn't. I kept wondering when I was going to complete a lap, and find a set of feet at the end of my lane, waiting to catch my attention and tell me to vacate the pool.

Same overall performance as last time, as best I can tell based on the little second-hand-less analog clock hanging on the wall near the pool. I just tossed my old stopwatch into my swim bag. I did the same sprinting routine as last time. I'm not challenging myself cardiovascularly; the main impediment to progress is my left shoulder. I suppose I could start kicking harder to get my heart rate going.
S was ready to hit the gym the moment I got home. W did his part by remaining asleep for about half the time S was gone. J and A played in my office with W, keeping him moderately entertained and moderately happy.
