Text thread screenshot — Near the end of today’s 7-miler, i texted Alan. We then spoke for 15 minutes. It was fascinating. Ps. Alan lives nearby.

Alan is retired and his children are running his business now. Alan has a keen eye for seeing how AI could help his sons run their business.

Alan also listens to a lot of podcasts these days.

He shared three stories, one from each podcast that he said reminded him of me.

The first most compelling story featured Jordan Peterson moving his massive body of work to AI.

At the end of our chat, he said he would send me the result of a question he asked on X.

Alan described the results as a five minute Jeff Noel Ted Talk.

Bug on a napkin in a man’s hand — In our garage before heading out for yesterday’s pre-roadtrip 5-miler, i spot a tired fly. Wondered if it would hop aboard a napkin…

5-second video: Context is everything. You know how skittish flies are. This is one exceptionally exhausted fly, and, hopefully, an exceptionally grateful fly.

The karma that started yesterday morning before ever heading out for a walk….

Could try to write about it yet it seems the photos and video say it all.

Humbled.

By yesterday morning.

By yesterday in Tampa.

By the blessing to write five-a-day for 16 consecutive years. Never missing a single day. Not one.

Note to self: Tell me that isn’t an insane example of (fill in the blank) ___________.

Three weeks away, body

Excited to see how personal vibrancy is impacted from the command decision in three weeks.

Note: Makes me wonder if there will ever come a time when i decide to stop exercising. Crazy thought, right? That’s how uncomfortable it has been over the past few years when thinking about how long should i blog.

After 30,000-plus blog posts, body

After 30,000-plus blog posts, i feel physically vibrant. Most of the time anyway. The two 2023 retina tears crushed me physically.

But, now i have…

How much is enough?

mountain — Do i really need to summit Mt Siyeh? It’s one of six Glacier summits higher than 10,000 feet. Over one-million acres, only six. Have hiked by it a couple dozen times. Have even done reconnaisance the past three years. Have dreamed of standing on the summit during those three years.

About a month from flying to Glacier for Summer 2023.

Cognizant this won’t publish until deep into Winter 2024.

Aware that finishing 15 consecutive years is on the horizon.

At peace with never trying to set a world record.

Never dreamed i’d make it 100 consecutive days writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

So impossible.

Yet here we are, well into year 14, turning into year 15.

Which begs a question, “How much is enough?”
