True to form, and the reason for the title of this blog, what I am interested in trying and interested in writing about changes with great frequency. Believe it or not, this blog is much more linear than my daily life, at least in terms of what catches my attention and causes me to want … Continue reading
Obviously I am interested in ways to become a better, more fulfilled, sexier and smarter human being. And this time of year caters to that impulse in a beautiful, shiny way! December and January always bring out the fitness apps and online programs, the moleskin journals for gaining efficiency and insight, and the life centering … Continue reading
I have been following Wim Hof for over two years now, listening to interviews and reading up on his ‘method.’ I have practiced his breathing regimen off and on during this time as well. I typically do the breathing exercises 2-3 times a week, and the cold shower routine about 4-5 days out of any … Continue reading
I am thinking about tribalism again, and in the very overblown way we are seeing it play out in our culture right now. I don’t really want to pick apart what I see happening politically and in our wider cultural war unfolding, but it has been on my mind, and any other thoughts I find … Continue reading
It has been a few weeks since I have gone for a fully immersed cold swim. Summer travel, home projects, and time with the family has been a bit of a priority. But the laminate floors looks awesome, the Irish Fair in Minneapolis-St. Paul was a blast, and Micki and I came out of it … Continue reading
As a former actor, former EMT, and elementary teacher it is pretty much a requirement that I have a therapist. The guy I have been seeing off and on for a few years now is pretty no-nonsense and is great at calling bullshit. So I keep going back. About a year ago he asked me … Continue reading
When I was a child I used to have this recurring dream. In the way of dreams it was always slightly different, but familiar enough that in the midst of the dream I would have a moment where I would consciously think “oh yeah, I know what happens now…” That was typically where the fun (or … Continue reading
Last week I decided to stay in the water a bit longer, which is much less of a challenge with the wetsuit. I tried two different days, about 15 minutes both times. It was an ebb tide both days, with a pretty fast current. The first day the tide was far enough out that I was able to … Continue reading
I bought a wetsuit this past weekend, with the idea that it would keep me a hint warmer and help with buoyancy, freeing me of the bulky life jacket. We were at the second hand sporting goods shop looking for biking shoes with clips. Walked out with shoes, a wetsuit, and a replacement wetsuit for … Continue reading
Continuing on the subject of how cold the waters of Puget Sound are, I thought I would write a little bit about open water rescues that I have witnessed and how they influence my understanding and appreciation for the place I live. According to NOAA the waters of Puget Sound in the Tacoma area fluctuate from … Continue reading
