今日は何をしましたか？

What did you do today? I ask that question to the students everyday!

While I am passionate and committed to work,  I'd like to think that we've structured our lives solidly around family and children. Whatever flexibility our sources of income allow us, we build and spend around maximizing time with family. In other words, we're not rich. But we get enough of each other. The food at home is lovingly made, we hear and say things, and even with all my inherent paranoia, or the devils that hide in me, I consider our home to be a utopia, a living dream. Once in a while, we dream some more. Which means we all have enough time to squander on streaming and social media.

So forgive me for being off-track on our usual routine, D., as I fly out to another city to run a race. I'm being selfish. The opportunity was handed to me through frequent flyer miles that are about to expire. I had to jump on the chance to scratch my travel itch.

I asked myself about my day and I notice, every day, how age catches up on us. We, tend to run slower, get sleepier, get more idle. So we try to figure out how to run differently. Away from the devils of procrastination. Away from the devils of being dreamless. We're bound to find a good story.
