I had planned on an AM walk with Lauren, but woke later than usual and, to incoming rain. We barely made it back during the dog walk before it was coming down, let alone a 2+ mile walk. I'd have been up for rain coat and walk anyway, but having started late = compressed time. We walked at lunch, 2miles, 40min, had to be back in short order for meetings and such. Decided to do a drive to Mt Umunhum in order to catch the sunset, while leaving enchilada's waiting in the oven for the kids upon our return. It was too cloudy over the mountain so we did a skyline run instead. Returned, ate, played a round of Farkel and dove into GNO. GNO was fun, as always, with a little techno-wrestling along the way. Started with Zoom, ended on WebEx. Nothing's perfect, but it worked out. Thinking I might change one of my habits to allow two or three days a week to be open to drinking wine or whiskey while the other four or five remain dry. It's a modification I'd like to test out for February. I've been rigid as hell all of January and it's been fine but constrained perhaps more than warranted. Oh and before I forget, I wanted to say that today I learned that the 2005 USDA "chicken enchilada standard" is a real thing, not just a marketing ploy by Stoffers, wherein packaged chicken enchiladas must be made up of at least 10.5% meat. Fascinating.
