Continue reading →: I’m obsessed with slots YouTube
I like Las Vegas. I’ve been there a half-dozen times, including a family vacation a couple summers back that made me question why in the world I would bring two teenagers to Sin City. Nevertheless, I’ve always found it to be one of the most uniquely weird places in America,…

Continue reading →: Committed to the bit
Absolutely spot-on piece in the NYT magazine this morning about “committing to a bit,” which really hit home for me. In summary, the writer, Jeremy Lawson, argues that one of the things that we can do to make interactions with others more engaging is to have intentionally obtuse quirks of…

Continue reading →: The Lockhorns at 55
I think about Bill and Bunny Hoest and John Reiner a lot, more than I probably should. Those three individuals are responsible for the output of The Lockhorns comic strip daily since 1968. That’s 55 years and three months of daily strips, with four on Sunday. Back of the napkin,…

The family did a fun project over the holidays where we wrote 13 wishes and burned one a day until only one remained. The 12 burned wishes are for the universe to provide, and the one remaining is for each of us to make happen. Looks like I will be…

Great episode of Diary of a CEO, with a long interview with Kristen Holmes, the vice president of performance science at Whoop. The data they’ve collected around sleep (be consistent, get sunlight first thing, eat during the day and go to bed around 10) and alcohol (basically there’s no truly…

Continue reading →: Good read: Whalefall

I picked up a record at Half-Price Books a couple of weeks ago, and it has a surprising history. It’s the soundtrack to a 1978 movie called “FM that was, by all accounts, a huge flop. The movie starred Martin Mull, Eileen Brennan, Cleavon Little and other contemporary comedians, and…

I seem to have a recurring problem committing to this blog, but I’m really working to make more of a habit of it in 2024. I’ve had it up in some form since 1998, so it would be a shame to just let it completely die on the vine. Looking…

I had expected to run 2,000 miles in 2022, as I had the year previous, but I came up one run short. in the scheme of things, I’ll call this a success, but it is a reminder of those occasional days when I took an unanticipated day off because I…
