So I find it hard to keep up with "the latest," keep fit, and also get work done. I've been able to find time in my day by combining two of them, news/opinion items and walking/running (and sometimes even work) using the "Instapaper" app, with which the paid-for edition does audio playback. So I listen … Continue reading What I “read” this morning on my morning walk: 2021-04-14
The Shifts in Voting Patterns in 2020 Election
The New York Times had an interesting article that analyzed the shift in voting patterns from the 2016 election to 2020. Looking at location and demographics they assessed the shift in votes from or toward the different party candidates. Several Colorado cities stand out as does the state as a whole. A worthwhile read. Description … Continue reading The Shifts in Voting Patterns in 2020 Election
Readings for 7 December
79 years ago today Pearl Harbor was attacked bring the United States into World War II. Very few people are alive today who have a memory of that day. History (His Story?) is interesting. Today's readings are not directly related to that event. They are part of the present that will one day be history. … Continue reading Readings for 7 December
Inspiration
"Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working."- Pablo Picasso Write - just write. Write crap, that's what it will feel like, but just write. Get the ideas out. Get the ideas down. Get the ideas.
My November 30 Run (and all that)
I went for a "run" yesterday morning - met Tyler at the Mount Falcon trailhead which took me through the town of Morrison for the first time ever. It is funny that I have lived in Colorado for 30 years and there are places in Bangkok that I know better than some areas here. It … Continue reading My November 30 Run (and all that)
Readings for 29 November
I was lucky enough to "read" 21 articles this morning. I say "read" since I usually use the "Instapaper App" to have articles read to me while I run or go for my morning walks. It is how I can stay on top of the news (aka feed my news addiction) and get other important … Continue reading Readings for 29 November
November 28th’s “Must Reads”
Well actually today there really are not many "must reads" - just interesting reads that I recommend. The first is "The Secret Ingredient Missing From Every Conversation" - though it reads a bit "self-help"-y it is nonetheless some good advice on how to engage with others and the world. Personally I think it a very … Continue reading November 28th’s “Must Reads”

Run this morning
The morning setting I went for a nice run this morning - just shy of 4 miles. Was able to pull off a sub-nine min mile even after struggling yesterday with Tyler doing the same. This time with more hill. A good portion was downhill so - but it was a loop! Here is a … Continue reading Run this morning
Morning walks
For the past couple years have been doing morning walks. I am for morning runs whenever I can but sometimes I just take a break from running to get some recovery time basically just slow down. One thing great about the morning walk is that I get more time looking at the environment around me … Continue reading Morning walks
