Highlights: Good calm start, "Calm" included, as well as a stretch of deep diving with the Daily Stoic. I made breakfast for us, Jen's bacon cheeseburger scramble. Got a few calls out of the way and found myself in the Shika vortex for hours, trying to manage a slew of issues that the optimizations I have in mind will mitigate. It's that classic situation I routinely end up in… make me do it manually, and I'll simplify it so it's not as cumbersome to manage. It's a blessing, a curse, and a skill I'm proud of. Costco run with Tommy was fun; he found that he could get a 10lb 'tube' of beef for $4.39/lb. It's massive, and I know it'll be an issue at home being maintained in the fridge in a safe manner. It might not be worth the savings, but we'll see. CardzMania tonight was enjoyable, too. Always is. I'm grateful for my friends. The topic of aging beyond physical/mental capacity surfaced, but I stayed quiet as I didn't have anything I wanted to add beyond my own understanding of the legal and emotional aspects involved. I agreed with their mutual positions about quality vs quantity, and after what I have learned, I hope to be able to focus my time and energy in ways that evolve our awareness. I also want and need to be more active and agile. Aging isn't a major concern, but my inaction may make it a bigger issue later.
