Happening Now
- Slowly getting back into running after a slow summer of no formal training. Running a marathon in MAY 2027 so I've got some time to build that strength up (if you've been away from the blog for a while - I actually ran a half-marathon earlier this year). Might also be starting a run club.
- Working on community building stuff full-time with a super cool, kind and creative team of people
- Living in the best city ever and enjoying the beach in the sun and some nice parks too.
- Thinking about how to throw the best Thanksgiving dinner ever, and also about what I'm going to do for my birthday in the fall... lots of time to scheme means lots of time to plan something very good. I love a gathering.
- Not grocery shopping as much as I should be.
Do you have a question, concern or suggestion about what I am doing? Email me.

Looking at:
Watching University Challenge on Youtube. Sometimes watching Jeopardy. Haven't seen a single good movie all summer, everything falling a bit flat for me.
Reading:
Just read 10:04 by Ben Lerner - first time reading this guy and I like his writing in part because I see myself in it and in part because I think he is witty, eloquent, and “capturing the moment” as silly as it sounds. He’s too quick and too anxious and it makes him a good writer. Enjoyed this overall and will anticipate reading his other work eagerly.
Read the last 50 pages on the beach while overhearing the women beside me discussing their friend’s mysterious medical issue. Was a good companion audio to this book. Have been thinking a lot about how precarious health can be. The last words of this book: “I know it’s hard to understand / I am with you, and I know how it is.”
Currently reading: Femmephilia by Sophie Lewis & A Lover's Discourse by Roland Barthes

Not even really journaling these days guys!!!! Not a good sign!!! Need some more time spent on the blog too but not doing that much even though it's good for me.
