The balancing act of buddy-comedy/action movie they’re trying to pull off with The Accountant 2 makes me wish we’d already had the second one and were working on the third. Love the chemistry I’m seeing so far in the trailers. Can’t wait for this one.

New Mac Day, and I practice what I preach.
I wouldn’t count on it, since it’s Boston, but the #4Nations championship game crowd should totally belt out “O, Canada” and show up the snooty Montrealans.
January has been short story/novella month for me. I started on novels, first with Shibumi, then Tom Wood’s latest Victor tome, Firefight. But since then it’s been:
Eleven Numbers: A Short Story – Lee Child
“Archangel” – Frederick Gero Heimbach
New Kid in Town: A Jack Reacher Story – Andrew Child
Orders of Magnitude – Yuval Kordov
All have been very entertaining. Frederick’s and Yuval’s respective stories are spectacular.
Regularly scheduled reading will now resume as I turn back to Jack London’s White Fang.

I failed to mention it last week when we published, but there is a new episode of The Empowered Parent Podcast out. Our good friend Will Standfest was in town, and we had a chat about mid-school year check-ins, seeing if our kids’ educational needs are being met and what recalibrations might need to be made if any.
I thought it was pretty entertaining. Took me back to the Mack Bolan novels my grandfather used to share with me. 📚
First novel read in 2025 is Trevanian’s Shibumi.
If I’m being totally honest, I wasn’t at all impressed. 📚
First king cake order for 2025 placed with Manny Randazzo’s King Cakes, arriving the day after Epiphany.
“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…”
Among my many failings as a parent, the college kid having never seen this Christmas classic is one we are remedying now.
