We have two of the "mattress in a box" units. They do take time to fully bulk up. Honestly, in terms of comfort, 13-14" of memory foam has to be luxurious. Ours are far less thick and amazingly comfortable.

14 inches? I’ve had sleeping bags wider than that.

I have just finished re-reading all the books of the bible, including Luke, Mark, John, Paul, George AND Ringo.

MN Atheists is having their first in-person monthly meeting since the pandemic began. I don't really feel like it, and it means I'll miss half the football game, but I suppose it would be better for me than staying home.

Looks like my bed has topped out at 13-1/2 inches. Close enough for government work. I haven't decided whether to sleep on it tonight or not. It's like blowing on a microwave to make it cook faster. I keep thinking that if I just give it some more time it will make up that missing 1/2 inch.

I have jokes.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

On my way home from the monthly Minnesota Atheists business meeting / presentation. Today's presentation was on creating secular rituals. The main presentation finished at just the right time for me to catch a bus 30 minutes earlier than I had planned, so I'll get to see more of the football game.
Before I left, I started some country-style ribs in the slow cooker in a sweet gochujang sauce. I used a dry rub of brown sugar, kosher salt, and pepper and seared the ribs before putting them in the slow cooker. The sauce was a bit of a blend of recipes, consisting of brown sugar, soy sauce, mirin (seasoned rice vinegar), gochujang (Korean hot soy paste), honey, gochugaru (hot Korean pepper flakes), and the usual salt & pepper. I realize now that I forgot the ginger. "Oops." Hopefully it won't matter. I set it to slow cook for 9 hours on low, so it should be ready by 8:00 P.M. I've got liquid ginger concentrate, maybe I'll mix it with some mirin and dump some in when I get home. I'm looking forward to it. I just wish I'd set it for 8 hours so that I could eat sooner. I haven't eaten yet today, so my stomach is talking to me.
