You Are Not Late by Kevin Kelly—I always feel like I’m rushing to the “next thing.” This helped me feel like I’m not actually missing out. Patience is a virtue 🧘🏼‍♂️

Watch

I love this news anchor. She’s both hilarious and a good sport:

I am working on building flexibility. These hammies have never been tighter. I’ve also never been able to touch my toes without bending my knees. I used this stretch at the gym, and I will be on the lookout for more videos to add to my routine:

I also really loved some of the comments:

My goal is to do 25-40 mins of lifting each day, then add 10-20 mins of cardio, and wrap up with stretching. I haven’t had a balanced routine like that perhaps ever.

Ponder

Concept: I am known to be particular and opinionated, but a recent Reddit post had me thinking about how I think. The comment provided some useful filters for evaluating what to spend time on Army-wise:

Excerpt: “It is important that you become adept at examining problems from unusual angles and that you seek out unconventional solution methods, because not all cash flow problems conform to the neat patterns for which we have discovered and developed equations.”

I am continuing to play around with the formatting, and you will notice, I have added an email subscription for this to be delivered to your inbox whenever I publish something new.

As this blog continues to evolve, I find myself enjoying sharing the things each week that, when discovered through friends or digging on Reddit, delight me.

Podcast: #005 Rick Harper | What Does a Union Rep Do for the Airlines? | The Ultimate Aviators Podcast (Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube)

  • Note: This is my last episode of the podcast. I’ve got some ideas on how I want to pivot to a new podcast project. I’ll write a blog post on it to solicit feedback. Stay tuned…

Play

I experienced a false start with some friends, and I attempted to play Frosthaven. It took 90 minutes just to set up the box to start gameplay when the side of the box advertised 30 minutes per player (and we allocated 2 hours). It is, no doubt, a beautiful game, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be.

So instead, we pivoted and played a round of Camel Up. It was easy to learn, quick, and fun. I also love games that 

I have also found myself totally enthralled with mahjong. Some old ladies were playing while we were setting up Frosthaven, so I looked up a mobile app. I’ve really enjoyed Vita Mahjong (iOS) as a way to chill at the end of the night.

Tool

Canva has a well-designed color theory tool to find a given color’s complementary color(s). I used it to find the counterpart of my website’s signature blue, and it can go up to a 4-color complement.
