Why no images?
Nov 6, 2020
As of this writing, this website has no images.
The layout is also really plain.
While I do enjoy text and appreciate the minimalism of some website I still find on the net (a perfect example: cr.yp.to ), I’m looking to have a more modern and readable look.
Layout will improve as I have time to build it over time.
Images I’m particularly missing for my food writing. Happily, I see examples of what people have done and they look pretty straightforward.

This week has been more productive than I thought it would be.
Normally when I’ve traveled back to California, everything feels much more disrupted. There’s a different daytime schedule, I’m in a different place, there’s a different routine.
All of that has been true but I’ve adapted pretty well, to the point that a couple of times I had to double check that it was just last week I was on the road.

Even though my daily blog is done, I have an interest in recording my thoguhts from time to time.

I’m in Sacramento now.

Snow Day
Oct 23, 2020
On October 16th, we had our first day of snow.
I’m in the Twin Cities with my girlfriend Chris and it was glorious.
Around 9:45am really big fluffy flakes of snow started to float slowly down from the sky. They started to accumulate a little on plants and cars.
Except it was 37F so nothing was going to stick.
Then it was raining.
Then more snow.
Then some ice began to fall.

The End of JumpstartMyHeart
Oct 23, 2020
For the last 932 dyas, I’ve written a daily blog.
It all started when I had open heart surgery.
You can read all about it here At first I chronicled my recovery and all. And then it became a daily chronicle of my life.
However, over time, I found it less rewarding and more of a chore. While I enjoyed the writing and having a record of things, I also wanted to write about topics that weren’t a good match for that blog.
