About a year ago I got the Helio Strap to monitor my steps, heart rate, sleep. Why not the WHOOP? Because I find ALL CAPS annoying and also a $350 annual subscription seems silly. Overall I think for $99 and no subscription the Helio Strap is a great buy. When Google announced the Fitbit Air… Read more: Fitbit Air vs Helio Strap
Would you lie and cheat to get a seat at Rich Table in San Francisco? What’s your moral compass when it comes to screwing someone else over to get ahead? Yesterday I saw this girl straight up lie to the host to secure a seat at the popular Hayes Valley restaurant Rich Table. After a… Read more: Ruthless at Rich Table
I figured House of Prime Rib wouldn’t be too busy yesterday being Mother’s Day. I was right. Came around 6pm and got immediately seated. Saturday I did 17K steps and Sunday another 16K in addition to 30 minutes of lap swimming, so I was ready to eat a big meal guilty free. Decided to try… Read more: King Henry, Seared
Sold the van today. Sad emoji. I’ve had two vans setup for road trips, camping and general outdoor exploration. Pre-Covid it was a Chrysler Pacifica minivan. Must have visited 15 National Parks in her. Then just as Covid started I decided to get a high roof Ram Promaster, because after crawling around in the minivan… Read more: #vanlife #over
I started wearing one of those screenless health monitors last year to track my steps, heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep, etc. Most of last year I was hoovering around 8,000 steps a day. Earlier this year I bumped it up to around 9,000-10,000. But last couple of months I’ve been averaging 11,000 steps. My… Read more: 11,000 Steps a Day
I don’t recall exactly why I started watching this video about Lindy West, but I did, and concluded I have a very boring life. If you have no idea who Lindy West is, you are not alone. I had no idea who she was either. But somehow this video about her appeared on my YouTube… Read more: My Boring, Non-Poly Life
If a bad, expensive meal is the most disappointing, what is the most satisfying “everyday” thing? I’m going to say a nice, casual walk with the dog on a Saturday morning when the weather is just right. It’s so simple, practically free, yet so mind and body satisfying. We start at Alamo Square park, the… Read more: The Most Satisfying
Is there anything more disappointing than a bad, expensive meal? Sure, not getting that promotion at work you were promised, seeing your child become a meth head, those are obviously more life changing disappointments. But I’m talking about everyday disappointments. A movie isn’t as good as the reviews. The hot girl turned out to be… Read more: The Most Disappointing
That’s not a riddle, I am literally asking, who stole my jacket at the park this morning? Almost every morning I walk the dog at the local park. This morning was a bit hotter than I anticipated so I took off my jacket and hung it on the child playground fence (the park has a… Read more: Who Stole my Jacket?
So yeah, my old blog got deleted. Admittedly, I hadn’t posted anything for a while (several years) and it was essentially in archive mode. Still, it was a bit annoying that all the sudden all my content was erased. Apparently Typepad sent email notices that it was going out of business but I searched my… Read more: Deleted
