 This month:

-* Skill:
+* Adventure: Rehoboth Beach with my family. We've done this trip for the last four years, and every year the number of children in attendance has increased by one, a trend that simply cannot continue.
+* Project: [This is one of my favorite albums][1], and here's how they describe the creation process: "write and record a collection of drum-free samples, then flip them into an albums' worth of beats." I'd like to produce a track in this style this month.
+* Skill: Drum programming

-* Fiction: [_Title_][1], Author
-* Non-fiction: [_Title_][2], Author
+* Fiction: [_Moonbound_][2], Robin Sloan -- quite a departure from _Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore_ but I'm digging it so far; I like an absurd story told in a straightforward way
+* Non-fiction: [_The World Beyond Your Head_][3], Matthew B. Crawford -- I've read another book by this author, _Shop Class as Soulcraft_, and Tom MacWright spoke highly of this one in his [recent update][4] and [review][5]
