It sounds a little ungrateful to say I’m bored, as I sit comfortably in a nice hotel bed with books, Netflix, room service, and a nice view but I am bored and a little miserable. Antibiotics, discomfort and surrealism are a challenging combination for existential stability as it turns out. I can’t do much beyond […]

As I slowly walked myself out of surgery yesterday, I thought to myself “I actually feel much better!” And I genuinely did. If you have a gentle stomach, maybe stop reading here. I’m fine. I’m on my way to well. And this will be graphic. I do feel dramatically better having had the “slouching towards […]
Well it’s been exciting day for me and I may be a little bit high (alas not the fun or good kind) as I just had an abscess surgery in Istanbul. I’m waiting on the lab work for the culture and pathology but from what I saw come out of the abscess it can’t be […]
I’ve been having some side effects from my new biologic injection Bimzelx. Whenever I travel, I do a spate of doctors appointments before I leave so I can be adequately prepared for likely scenarios. Be prepared is my motto. I had gone to a dermatologist a month ago to check on a cyst or swollen […]
I need to do a better job at tying up loose ends. I’ll bring up a change and then forget to do updates until I’ve concluded the experiment. My January health reboot included changing my IL-17 biologic injection (moving from Cosentyx to Bimzlex) in the hopes of reducing my soaring inflammation markers has its last […]

Day 1587 and Wellderly

It has so far included impromptu drives to Istanbul, seeing our right to compute bill get signed into law, watching a founder we backed […]

Day 1584 and Sunday Chores
I missed spring cleaning due to some unexpected travels. Part of that was by design, as a gnarly mold issue required mediation that we decided was best missed by my annoyingly fragile immune system. You wouldn’t think galavanting across Alexander’s Empire by car would be a reasonable way to avoid mycotoxins and you’d be right […]
Being back in America after any amount of time in Europe is always a weird transition for me. I am in Colorado for an academic conference so I’m staying in a chain hotel. Being accustomed to European systems that simply don’t work beyond a set range I turn the air conditioning on maximum before bed […]
I spent the night in a port city in Greece as I am making my way back to Western Europe. I’ll be crossing by airplane via polar routes on my way to Colorado next week for an academic conference at my home town university. I feel like I’ve made it when I am invited to […]
Overweighting the American markets has been the default in finance for decades. The growth of the magnificent 7, the “exorbitant privilege” of the American dollar, and the security of the defense umbrella of our alliances bolstered treasuries. American exceptionalism has been rocked with Liberation Day and the subsequent fallout for many. Nobody in business in […]
