I dipped a toe in the counter-opinion post waters of facebook, and did not get sent to facebook jail (yet). Why did I feel so compelled to speak out? Censorship. I’ve heard the complaints that big tech (social media) is controlling the narrative, but I didn’t want to believe it—until my nurse practitioner aka medical…

Checklist 51
I spent too long writing Convo 51, reacting to everyone’s reactions to Texas lifting the mask mandate and occupancy restrictions. No surprise here, I’m in favor of freedom in life and nuance in perspective, which isn’t easily captured in a quip. Entertainment The drunk pandy blizzy ep of Sacks and the City podcast is live!…
Checklist 44
O rly? Lockdowns are scientifically ineffective. And have disastrous economic ramifications. There are all sorts of things to care about right now. One that feels “smaller” in significance compared to, well, anything else in our dumpster fire country is Austin’s banned camping ban (double negative: homeless or really any people can currently camp wherever they…
Checklist 43
It seems weird to publish this scheduled post now, as we watch an unprecedented event take place at the Capitol. But perhaps there isn’t a more poignant time to suggest that you read this awesome analysis of why “Being Woke” is as divisive as racism itself. “We live different lives, we have different views. It’s…
Checklist 35
WHAT A WEEK. Support Yo Friends (or my friends) HeartSupport’s new veteran initiative Workout I said I was deleting this section, but then Power Athlete published a stellar post on simple training rules.

Covid Checklist Week 23
Skipped last week, and don’t know how much longer I will keep on with these checklists … at this point, we all know that I’m just over here hip-hop dancing (poorly), riding my pelo, watching bad TV, and buying all the wine online. Nonetheless, we shall persist! For this week anyway. No covid convo, though.…
Covid Checklist Week 21
I thought about adding a category called “Things I Am Learning” to this week’s checklist, but so many of the things that are in other categories fall under that descriptor that I’m not sure it makes sense. It feels like I’ve tried to keep my mind sharp during covid by learning new things, not limited…
Covid Checklist Week 20: Truly, A Place We Never Thought We’d Be
Or, at least a place I never thought we’d be. I wasn’t going to convo today, but then I did, and it’s here. Let’s move on to covidtainment, because I’ve got some standup paddleboarding to get to. Workouts My California bestie sending me Peloton workouts to break 400 kj or whatever the hell “output” they’re…
COVID Checklist Week 18
This week’s convo is much more calm than previous weeks. Workouts PELOTON IS HERE. I have taken 3 rides. I HATE it every time during, and love it every time I get off. Cardio, yo! I love BFree’s Digital Studio. Trying a new workout via Zoom called 1WRKOUT. It utilizes “time under tension” to the hypnotic…
