It’s always baffling to me when something that is supposed that is supposed to make you feel good makes me awful. And yet it’s a very consistent experience for me. Every time I get bodywork done (massages, acupuncture, osteopathic spinal work, physical therapy) I feel like absolute shit for 24-48 hours afterwards. I have an […]

I am hunkering down for a Friday evening at home. Batten down the hatches, secure the chickens in their coop, turn on the security system and lock the doors kiddos because the circus is here. Former President Donald Trump is hosting a rally in Bozeman Montana tonight and I would like to keep my distance […]

Day 1310 and Zonked
I didn’t get enough sleep last night. Between one thing and another I got about five hours of sleep. Adult circadian rhythms being what they are I still woke at the usual time. I had a busy morning and afternoon so I pushed through it. Unexpectedly a number of pieces of my investing work were […]

Day 1269 and Reconditioning
I feel as if I lost a lot of ground to a gnarly case of Covid over the past couple of weeks. I had two weeks of clear infection symptoms and then a week of simply being exhausted and unable to get out of bed. The benefit of keeping trace of one’s biometrics that I […]
There was a Baz Luhrmann song “Everybody’s Free” that became popular at graduations for millennials. It was delivered as advice for the class of 99 and became a cheesy but heartfelt touchstone for many millennials celebrations. It is a tearjerker and contains some useful insights on nostalgia and advice. Be careful whose advice you buy […]

Day 1199 and Homelife
I really love a Saturday dedicated to home projects. No matter how busy things are (and it’s not exactly been quiet few weeks) I enjoy the comfort of weekend afternoon routines. Perhaps some aspect of adulthood is simply meant to keep us within routines so the entropy doesn’t get us without a bit of a […]

1189 and The Expense of Choice
One of my most American traits is how much I prioritize making my own choices. I am not contrarian for its own sake, but I prefer to freely align myself with what I value. I don’t make a secret of my revealed preferences and I am not afraid to associate with people who have different […]

1165 and Adjusting
I slept a lot last night. Have moved four time zones in as many days with the additional “joy” of daylight savings my body is confused. My mind is not. My initial impulse today was to push through it with exercise, routines, self care and being present in the real world but after the basics […]

Day 1135 and In The Red But Climbing
I’d love to know if this happens to anyone else. I find I’m easily influenced by the data that my fitness trackers share with me. Sometimes it will even affect my mood negatively. A green recovery can make me feel more optimistic. I’m a user of both a Whoop and an Apple Watch. I’ve got […]
