This is important.
It’s fine to “draw your own conclusion”. I don’t have to understand or respect how one could draw any other conclusion from the copious evidence that this was illegal and unconstitutional.
Just a few days earlier, I made the intention to buy a house upstate that could hold all of our grown-ish children and be a physical manifestation of our love. There she was!
I saw photos of Finne and gasped. I slid the phone over to Tim and he started reading the history of the house. Then he gasped.
What we believe in.
Why aren’t we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?
As someone who is deep into college enrollment thinking I found this fascinating. Especially important to think about as the enrollment cliff approaches this year.
The first day of the new year begins with some rituals…
- Swap out my Daily Log (Hobonichi Techo) to the next for the new year. Write my word of the year at the beginning of each month.
- Order my DayOne book.
- Prep the beans and veggies for Black Eyed Peas and Cabbage later today (I make mine Vegetarian).
Seventeen Sweaters: Alan Paine Argyle
The Alan Paine Argyle that my wife picked up for me in a clothing exchange. Made in England out of 100% English lambs wool. Perfect for going out to the local pub. Even the not so local ones.
Of all the famous and well known that I share a birthday with, I was always proudest that I shared it with President Jimmy Carter.
Much can be said about his missteps as President. More can be said of the humble Christian service he brought to the office of ex-President.
An example for us all.
Seventeen Sweaters: “Monk” Sweater from Zara
I’m a bit under the weather so I’m using some older existing photos for this one. You’ll just have to trust me that I’m wearing this sweater as I type this…
I call this my “monk” sweater. The reasons should be kind of obvious. It looks like something a monk in the middle ages would have worn. My wife got this for me for Christmas many years ago from Zara. Double breasted with a slouchy hood. This is another fairly warm one that works well as a light jacket by itself in autumn temperatures.
Seventeen Sweaters: Unbound Merino Compact Travel Hoodie
Some days you just want to throw on a t-shirt and a hoodie. It’s a Saturday. You need something you can relax in. Maybe run to the small coffee shop up the block and grab a fancy one. A light yet warm layer you can crumple up, throw into a gym bag, and take back out after the work out.
This is that sweater.
Episode 563: Uncertainty | PM Talks S1:E11 – Mike Vardy
In this latest episode of our monthly series, PM Talks, Patrick Rhone and I dive into the complexities of life and work. This series offers deep discussions that explore meaningful topics from our perspectives. This month, we’re tackling uncertainty—how it shows up in our lives, how we handle it, and how to find certainty in areas where we can have control.
I love that I get to talk to a long time friend every month about the sorts of things we talk about anyway but then it gets recorded so others can listen in.
Seventeen Sweaters: Black & Brown Extra Fine Merino Sweater
A few Christmas’s ago my wife, knowing how much I loved and wore this sweater made it her mission to find similar sweaters in other styles and colors. She found three.
This one is a black v-neck model. She also got one that is the most interesting navy blue I’ve ever seen (sort of an indigo but not quite, sort of a purple but not quite, impossible to capture in pictures) and an extra fine cashmere model that may show up in a future post.
