Weekly Things – February 09, 2019

Coffee cup next to a notebook and headphones

Tim Ferriss puts out a weekly email called 5-Bullet Friday where he discusses the five things he’s “been loving, using, and reading.”

Honestly, I don’t find his picks overly helpful or interesting—so I unsubscribed. But I liked the idea of keeping track of things that caught my eye throughout the week.

Here are some things that I watched, read, listened to, or otherwise enjoyed this week that I noticed enough to jot down.

Watching

Netflix’s The Punisher (Season 2)

Overall, a really well-done season. I also just learned that Netflix doesn’t have an intuitive way to share a link directly to their content, so you’ll have to search it.

Reading

Parables of Judgment — Robert Farrar Capon

Stan Lemon sent me this book and I’m finally finishing the third book in the volume on the parables of judgment. I’ve really been enjoying his treatment of the parables.

Get it on Amazon.

Listening

Life with a Twist of Lemon

Stopped by to have lunch with friends here today. Their Duck and Cover brew was delightful.
