My girlfriend Chris and I saw the film RBG, the documentary about Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. She has led an impressive career and stays incredibly fit. I recommend the film.

Today’s walk was over 2 miles and didn’t seem that hard. I’ll stick to that distance for a few days to get used to it. Ultimately I want to be walking an hour a day, 4-5 times a week. Most of work time today was mapping out a basic system for tracking my customers and … Read more

I woke up at 7:30am, looked at the weather outside and stayed in. I should have taken a walk much earlier. 85% humidity that early sounded unpleasant.
