Now

This is what I'm up to at the moment (updated May 22, 2026):

We're in Spring-Becomes-Summer season in Ohio.  Some cloudy gray days in the low 50s, (f) and some sunny days in the 70s and 80s.  It's not unusual to run both the furnace and the air conditioner in the same week.

I've been on a social media diet for a few weeks, as I got really stressed out by a backlog of important projects and home tasks.  Staying logged out has helped a lot.  Turns out it's really helpful not having "scroll some stuff" as an easy in-between-things activity. Who knew?  (Even on Mastodon.)

General health status: fine.  Diet = not great.  Exercise = passable.  I haven't been running this year.  I was walking regularly, then started to work in some biking, but laid off that for a couple of weeks so I could heal up some road rash :/  I'm pretty out of shape.

But I'm going to Colorado this summer!  It will be my first visit since we moved to Ohio in 2018.  Our kids go out every summer to spend time with their aunt, and this year I'm tagging along.  Agenda is still pretty loose.  It will probably be a lot of front range sightseeing, and a little bit of hiking.  Maybe even a quick trip up to Wyoming.  

Currently reading "Jingo" by Terry Pratchett and "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig.

What's a Now page? The idea of the "now" page is described here:  https://nownownow.com/about  It's intended to quickly give someone to get a sense of what you're up to.  (What would you tell a friend you hadn't seen in a year?)
