Been a rough year. Rough few months anyway. Haven’t been feeling so hot. Stepped up physical activity as one piece of self-preservation routine. (Went kayaking today as part of that. Second time ever. First was over 2 years ago. It was hella fun. Some of the views were beautiful. Minneapolis can be spectacular. Muscles feel stiff now, will be sore tomorrow I’m sure.)
Need to refocus. Set priorities. What do I want out of the various things I put time into and that I draw upon? In terms of my reading, writing, thinking - what are the problems I want to work on? what positions do I want to advocate for (or against)? what do I want to understand better? Think this through.
i feel like it’s hard to do this stuff as individuals. we need to coordinate and have a collective prioritization. its just that it never happens

in the everglades? I’m pretty sure there’s like fist-sized mosquitoes living there. Actually I made that up. But there are alligators and I am scared of alligators.

Balance is key, comrade. Work, play, think, do. Physical activity, fishing, hiking,snowboarding etc keeps me sane, somewhat.Music keeps me together. Agitation feeds my soul.

Canoe believe it? After I lost my job I had to salma kayak. I rally loved that kayak, too, even though I had trouble balancing. I use to go out on it and really flounder. While trying to catch flounder! Ha!
