Monday was a day off work and I rode almost 40 miles after having ridden over 30 miles the day before. I was wrecked after all that. I was eating everything in sight and napped a couple of times later that day. But it felt so good to be out...

Abe wants me to create more  metadata in my posts, so here goes.

Saturday I really needed to ride, but I'd stayed up kind of late Friday night, so I didn't wake up early enough to join any morning group rides. When I woke up it was wet outside but...

As I look back on my 2021, it's hard to land on a single theme. Persevere, maybe. Ride, maybe. "Narrow Focus" was my theme going in. I don't think I did so well in that regard. I recently wrote:

The Second Mountain by David Brooks. Not sure yet if I would...

- I'm now trying Amazing Marvin and Routine on top of Notion for tasks. Routine somehow crossed my desk a few weeks ago and it's been helpful for planning my day, but with my main task management in Notion, and its Notion integration (which, I don't know how that works...

I'm working on a personal bibliography (a literary uses page if you will). Here's what I have so far.

Life stuff:

Man's Search for Meaning by Frankl. Probably the most influential book in my life, I read it in high school or college. Haven't re-read it in a while, need to...
