365: Day 136 – Sometimes I wonder
This is my cat, Gandalf, and he sometimes makes me wonder about him. I catch him in the weirdest poses and I’m never quite sure if he is grooming himself or if he is doing yoga. If only I could be that flexible. There are few things as disheartening and being in most uncomfortable position… — read more

365: Day 135 – Longest Streak Ever
I am quite proud of myself for having made it this far. A few years ago I went for a daily running streak that lasted for 131 days. In those months I was running just over 100-120 miles per month. The different then was that I never set out to run every day for a… — read more

365: Day 134 – Bird of a different feather
It was fall of 2017 and I was in Boston with some friends and business school colleagues for a conference and was sharing a hotel room with one of my most valued friendships. I met him at the previous conference in Texas and we have remained great friends ever since…but that’s a story for another… — read more

365: Day 133 – The 50s and 60s
These were a few decades before I was born, but I’ve become increasingly interested in them: the fashion, the engineering, the hopes and dreams. I look at the famous people of the time and I only wish today’s celebrities had the same decorum. So many trashy famous people today glorified my our attention-hungry culture. Another… — read more

365: Day 132 – Ruth Bater Ginsburg’s love of opera
I read a wonderful article in the New York Times about Ruth Bater Ginsberg’s “intense love” for opera. I wholeheartedly understand this almost obsessive passion for the art form. I loved reading about her sometimes going to a dress rehearsal, opening night, and then closing night–I did this myself a couple of times. And of… — read more

365: Day 131 – How do I write?
I’ve mentioned before that I like the introspection that comes with writing on a daily basis. Tonight, I decided to turn that attention to my writing to identify the ways in which I am most inspired and productive at writing. If I want to romanticize the idea of writing, I imagine myself in a cute… — read more

365: Day 129 – Need to start writing earlier
It’s past my bedtime and regretting not writing this earlier in the day. I regret even more that I somehow deleted everything that followed in today’s post. It was a complaint about long work hours and thinking about taking a moment to write in the middle of the day to break up my day. I… — read more

365: Day 128 – Lucid Dreams
I’m not sure why this thought crossed my mind, but I suspect it has something to do with me being on the bring of dozing off. Lucid dreams is something I first read about in a book mostly focused on the neuroscience of sleep—I believe it was called “Counting Sheep”. It talked about some people… — read more

365: Day 127 – Thankful for these posts
I sometimes reach this point of the day where I’m desperately trying to think of a topic to write about. This daily posting has become quite engrained where I can’t think of going to bed without thinking about if I wrote something here. I’ve really come to appreciate these little ramblings: I may have mentioned… — read more
