I am wrapping up listening to "Four Thousand Weeks" tonight. I intend to relisten to it starting tomorrow. I found it densely packed, filled with ideas and insight that require my full attention. In fact, one of the chapters touches on the decline of attention spans and the diminishing act of reading for long periods of time. Amen, sayeth the choir. Morning walks continue, and the am routine is pretty ingrained at this point. PM too. I love having routines but it's time to find something to add or some way to mix it up. I enjoyed the leadership opportunity that presented itself today for me to investigate, act on, and convey some positive news to two of our team members. Meanwhile, one of my friends with an addiction problem appears to be heading in the right direction and I have tentative plans for the weekend to visit the other. I spent time at SRC today after a brief 2-day absence. Things remain status quo. I'm rethinking the house strategy. I'm likely driving the loan agent crazy but there are complexities and complications I need to manage in order to overcommit to something. I think I have a better handle on things, though. Kids were out tonight and it gave Jen and I a chance to have a nice steak, a 2014 Malbec, and some casual time connecting.
