I’ve added a couple of Countdown indicators to my Momentum dashboard. To keep me focused. The background photos may change, but the march of time will continue. Reminding me… I’ve got a few things coming up in the next little while. All of them need some consistent work. Little by little. Day by day. It’s…
Memory is funny. I think about memory a fair amount. One of the scariest diseases around is dementia. Dementia erases the person you were. Who are we, but the sum of our memories? One of the reasons I perform in plays is so that I can exercise my memory. Use it or lose it. Usually,…
Last night we had our first read through for Things I Know to be True by Andrew Bovell. I like having the read through. There’s no pressure. The cast just reads the lines of the script. It’s the last time that the play will be just the playwright’s. Starting with our next rehearsal, we will…
I was talking to my friend the other day. And I mentioned that I weigh myself every day. “Obsess, much?” Drew asked. And I had to think about it. I mean I blog about my weight loss journey a fair amount. And I do weigh myself every day. A few times during the day, even.…
Ah, averages. My monthly weight for December benefited from averaging. Because my weight gain was at the end of the month. Ah, the holidays… So, the average didn’t reflect my actual weight at the end of the month. But poor January. Even though my average weight went down each week, it was starting from a…
With the new year barely begun, I thought it was time to ramp up my motivation. And the thing that came to mind was that I needed some Zig Ziglar. Every now and then, I like to listen to Zig’s old lectures. I remembered that I had an audio book of his. So, I went…
You know what drives me crazy? Getting good ideas when I’m doing something else that requires my attention. Like driving to work, for instance. I get lots of great ideas while driving to work. But it’s hard to jot down those ideas for later when I must concentrate on the cars around me. And the…
Last year, I signed up for this year’s Around the Bay Road Race. Before I ran the 2024 one. Talk about optimism! And now, I’m realizing that it’s only two months away! Last year, I wasn’t consistent with my training. I started late. And I didn’t do much of it. This time, I’ve been running…
You know, sometimes I don’t get it. Weight loss, I mean. I weigh myself every day. So, I see the ups and downs. And usually, I can see a gain and know where that came from? My weight went up? Oh, yeah, I ate a medium pizza by myself. My weight went down? Oh, yeah,…
I spent a good amount of time reading plays this week. I’m on a play reading committee. And our first meeting was today, so I needed to have some plays to recommend. I read more plays this week, than I’ve read in the last couple of years. That’s crazy! I should be reading more plays.…
