2026: Week 9
I'm back!
Decided to keep writing here in hopes it’ll help keep myself sane this year.
Notes from the day
Sat, Feb 28
Random thought while waiting for our turn at the ortho: Do not leave your valuables unattended. Applies to personal belongings and marriage.
Ortho just said that since I already have a case of degenerative disc disease (DDD), I really shouldn’t be participating in activities such as running and hiking (cycling is still ok, thank God) but I already signed up for a 10k run next month. 🫢
Sun, Mar 1
Bought a copy of Bird by Bird a couple of years ago hoping to inspire the rest of the family. Today, our daughter is in the last chapter after picking it up on her own. Taking this as a win.
Other things
THE STONER ARMS DEALERS: HOW TWO AMERICAN KIDS BECAME BIG-TIME WEAPONS TRADERS - Okay, I’ll admit. I watched the 2016 film War Dogs mostly because I kept seeing memes of Jonah Hill. While it was a fun movie to pass time, I didn’t realize it was based on a true story and so into the rabbit hole I went and dug this 2011 article up where the movie was based.
