  • So far this January has been a period of reduction
    – No regular YouTube shows
    – Stopped my Duo Lingo Spanish Streak
    – Less unhealthy food
    – No beer at home
    As a result I feel like there is more space and time for me to enjoy everything else more.

  • It’s been a slow week here, finally having something resembling a normal routine setting in post New Years

  • I worked from home for a bit yesterday. Hercules was not a fan of my self imposed office exile.

  • Train travel is probably the public service I am most jealous of when I am in Europe. I have always known that we are behind in North America, but I didn’t know that instead of advancing we have regressed.

  • The recent surge of accountability for words and actions that is sweeping across the coaching landscape of the NHL is a breath of fresh air.
    Every coaching clinic I have attended has made clear that we must acknowledge the position of power coaching empowers and be not to abuse it.

  • One of my favourite parts of using micro.blog over the last few months has been my On This Day page. It is a satisfying nostalgia trip and maintenance tool.
    When I started using micro.blog I had stopped using Instagram and Twitter to post and imported both archives. I am slowly cleaning up Twitter URLs and images on old posts as I see them as surfaced by the On This Day reflection.

  • It’s a sunny, lazy Sunday morning here.
