Now

I am living in Colorado. I am a human being, not a human do-ing. My first attempt at retirement (#2dbbd60) only lasted three months. Now I am writing a book. I continue to freelance as a Technologist. (Still, not getting paid for it.)

I am caring for the people I love the most, striving to love my family, friends, acquaintances, and neighbors; and I am re-energizing (my primary hobby is reading and writing on the internet) so I can pace myself to do what matters most. Haven’t chatted with my daughter-in-law on Philotimo lately. I’m still waiting for the first reader to join us. Left as an exercise for the reader to figure out how. (You, Son—my Now page audience of one—already joined.)

Every day I listen to the ESV: Daily Office Lectionary. You should, too. (Derek Sivers, you are in my prayers. I see that since the last time I prayed for you, you seem to have turned off comments. No matter. I’ll email you.)

I ride my bicycle when the weather starts fair. I don’t mind riding in the rain. I hike even when it’s not so fair, though this week my knee acted up. Look me up on Strava, as biking and hiking are a couple ways I re-energize. I pray I don’t have a bum knee.

Kudos Derek Sivers for the idea to make a Now page. See nownownow.com.
