43
On my 43rd birthday, I write about disappointment, disruption, property management, communication, and trying to correct course.
Reflections
I reflect on blurred days, work cycles, afternoon walks, quiet thoughts, and feeling tired without being exhausted.
41 - All Fired Up
On my 41st birthday, I look back on COVID-19, Skip the Dishes, work changes, fire, and finding positives in failure.
Two Months - Which Feel Much Longer
I look back after two months of pandemic life and think about remote work, creativity, normalcy, and what might change.
40 - Amor Fati
On my 40th birthday, I write about amor fati, stress, work, property management, and walking into the fire.
Transitions
I walk through Kelowna, sit in Kasugai Gardens, and think about transition, uncertainty, work, and stoicism.
Home stretch
I work late on coursework, feel near the home stretch, and try to wind down while still wired.
Telling the Truth is Hard
I write about how hard it is to tell the truth to myself and others, especially around work and mistakes.
Do Not Delay
I remind myself that delaying hard tasks only gives them more control over my mind.
39 - A Resting Leaf
On my 39th birthday, I reflect on work, honesty, challenge, balance, and trying to rest like a leaf in the rain.
Seeking Quiet
I reflect on John Cleese, tending the garden of the mind, negativity, quiet, and the need to protect inner space.

I take a day off to recharge and feel better after spending eight hours away from work and errands.
(no title)
I start the day with a long corrective email that feels more accusatory than helpful.
Late night thoughts
I let late-night whisky loosen thoughts about parenting, baseball, creativity, theatre admin, work, and getting through hard days.
What’s in My Head
I write about overthinking, perfectionism, margin, work, and why this space went quiet despite all the ideas in my head.
