My knee is pretty much fully recovered now. I ran 4.5 miles today. I went pretty slow though – averaging an 11 minute pace for the first 3 miles then 13-14 minute pace for the next 1.5.

Great People
I am very fortunate to work with many great team members and clients on a daily basis. I am especially appreciative of those team members who have worked with me for years and shown high levels of commitment; generally these folks also make the most compensation too.
Life is Good

Abolish TSA and ICE
Both are a complete waste of taxpayer money and incapable of doing their missions.
Using My Tools
I have built a ton of tools into Scoretask, and now I am trying to use them more. Especially my To Do’s, Ongoing Feedback.

Rising Early
I have been waking up early again. I did this a while ago when I was programming every day for 8-12 hours. I have started doing it now as I am sometimes golfing before work from 6 am to 9 am. My body is feeling quite sore as I have been golfing either before or after work for nine straight days.… read more “Rising Early”
One Year Sober
I made a decision a year ago to stop drinking. I did it because I did some stupid stuff I wasn’t proud of. I have found some major benefits though: my brain is operating a much higher level, I am much happier, my marriage is far stronger, and life is much more stable.
