Yesterday was the first day in weeks that I felt I could go for a proper walk, beyond getting out for scheduled meetings and commitments — indeed, it …

Stand up
Earlier this year, after reading yet another article about how bad sitting all day is for one, I tried again to set up a standing desk for myself. This time, I succeeded.
I dig a pony
Anyone else tired of infallible men people brought down by hubris? What a world. I do dig a pony, by the way. Let’s look at this lovely horse with a fine young man on its back, and think of better things ahead.
