We drove back to the Twin Cities mid-morning and stopped at Sam’s because we were missing having beef. (We are down to the last of the 1/2 pig we bought a couple months ago.) For the record I’m not worried about the beef shortages that Tyson Foods is trying to scare the nation about. I … Read more
We had another social distant visit with Chris’ parents (staying at Chris’ sister’s empty house till tomorrow). They are doing well. We had Mexican food again for lunch and meatballs leftovers we brought for dinner. It’s nice to be out in the country where it’s really really quiet. I wouldn’t want to live this isolated … Read more
First real coaching (or consulting) call with a new client and it went well. (99% of calls go well. I’m noting it for posterity). Later in the day Chris and I drove north to her sisters house which is currently vacant. We are going to socially distantly visit her parents. Brought Mexican food from the … Read more
Today is my day for now with 3 coaching calls in one day. It was tiring. My girlfriend Chris says teaching is tiring so this is normal. And I’m not used to it. I do seem to get very exhausted every couple of days. I’m thinking it’s more working and stress and there’s a pandemic … Read more

Let’s call this sales day. My first call with with a business coach I first spoke with last week. She and I had a good conversation, seemed like I could help her and after last week we scheduled for today for me to present a proposal to her. I presented the proposal, asked her about … Read more
It’s Monday. At least I think it is. Every day looks much the same as every other day now. I was supposed to have my twice a month mastermind group meeting today but one guy was too busy to attend and the other guy didn’t show up. It’s just been the three of us lately. … Read more
After breakfast, Chris and I went to the co-op to get more coffee beans and picked up a couple of other things. I realized I had not left her house and yard in maybe a week so I had the weird idea that we should go to Sam’s. Chris wasn’t crazy about this but went … Read more
I made another batch of pork broth so we could have Pho for dinner. This batch turned out better than last time as I used a better method for making the broth. The bones simmered for about 6 hours total and the flavor was much richer. It turned out well. It’s still all pork since … Read more
I was interviewed for a small podcast today. Someone I met on LinkedIn does a weekly podcast and after we talked wanted to interview me. Looking over his past episodes he interviews a lot of different sorts of people so I don’t take it as meaning anything in particular. It was good experience and practice, … Read more
