Planning on running a marathon next September/October, wish me luck!

@paga4 This is John interviewing Nathan back in 1982. My understanding is that he helped a lot of people in his 50 years of practicing medicine. 77 isn't young, but it isn't old either. I think there's a lot of people who put their hope in diets, exercise, etc, but really, we're not guaranteed tomorrow. The best we can do is to learn, make the best decisions we can, and put our hope in God.

I’ve been thinking about getting into the habit of correspondence via email or handwritten letters with friends and family. We call and text all of the time, but correspondence seems to be a dying art outside of business. Writing really elevates conversations by giving us time to focus and polish what we want to say. Compare TikTok and The Shawshank Redemption. Both have their places and it would be a shame to lose either.

He won primaries!

We’re having a simple dinner tonight, just microwaved some potatoes and are watching The Martian.

I was feeling pretty smug about catching that fish. Must have been Heidi’s age.

My dad turns 70 tomorrow, so I’m going to fly in to see him tonight toting 70oz of beef jerky that my lovely wife made. Wish me luck!

This was a fun 90's mashup!

We had a busy few days last week when my parents came to visit for my birthday! A lot of fun times and good memories🙂

This interview with Nathan Pritikin from 1982 still has a lot of great information. We now have a better understanding of some of the mechanisms behind health and disease, but his advice still holds up.

I’ve recently fallen down a rabbit hole regarding write once, read multiple (WORM) data storage. I know there are hard drives that do this, along with optical disks, but has anyone ever used an operating system that is built around this principle? It would be like your system having constant snapshots. It wouldn’t be practical for everything, but the most stable storage isn’t rewritable. The 5D optical storage disks hold 360TB and could potentially last billions of years…

This was pretty funny.

I need meme captions for Heidi's graduation photo...

Doing a deep spring cleaning and finally hitting Heidi’s room. It is amazing how much junk you can amass and still feel sentimental about it. So many memories of her being a baby and those precious times. Time to purge though.
