Famed Pincher
- Finished reading The Courage To Be Disliked per a Justin Searls recommendation. Itās a very odd format, where the whole book is basically the dialogue between a student and a adlerian philosopher. This was my first exposure to Adler. Much of it feels dismissive of peopleās problemsāunempathetic, maybe?! But itās an interesting angle, nonetheless. It caused me to do a little reflection on my own thought-patterns. Too early to tell if any lasting good will come from it.
- Once again obliterated my feet attempting to not get killedāand failingāin pickleball. Iāve acquired new shoes, so hopefully we can put this painful saga behind us.
- Made a new bud at the pickle ball courts. Heās from China originally, so I utilized a few of my recently learned Chinese words to tell him: ęęčŖ¬äøęäøé»é» (āI can speak a little Chinese!ā). He (very generously) said I pronounced it perfectly. I left the Chinese speaking there, so as to not embarrass myself any further.
- Neat week for the stock market, eh? It looks like Iāve pretty much nailed the worst possible timing for quitting work. This retirement thing may be rather short lived.
- Hosted a little pizza party for Pi Day. Cooked up 6 pizzas on the Ooni. Used my 50/50 bread flour/00 flour @ 70% hydration recipe, and it came out just perfectly. Wonāt change a thing next time.
- Celebrated St. Patrickāfamed pincher and drinker of green beerāat Jessās. He cooked up a meddley of Irish-themed fare, plus a couple Irish Coffees (or, as they call them in Ireland: coffees).
- MotoGP round 2 is in the books. Another Marquez brothers demolition job. I know itās probably going to get old quick if itās anything like many of Marcās pre-2020 seasons. But for now, Iām happily cheering it on.
