Now
This is what I'm up to at the moment (updated February 8, 2025).
Currently reading: "Guards! Guards!" by Terry Pratchett
Returning to running and healthy eating after a ~2 month hiatus. Running has been regular (every other day) at a much shorter mileage. I had some knee pain when I ran on Christmas Eve, so I took some time off and then re-started with 1.5 miles per session, and some strength training on the off days. I'm rebuilding my base, and have a training plan that gets me to a pair of half-marathons in late summer and fall.
Planning two bathroom remodels at our house. The main bathroom needs an overhaul, so we are expanding the partial bathroom in the basement, first. We'll use that one while the main bathroom is in process.
Doing a lot of self-reflection on what it means to be a federal aviation technology researcher and consultant in the US at this moment. I recently ended a 20-year relationship with a research company in DC, and started a new relationship with a great team. At the moment we are identifying our goals and alignment with the new lean government reality in Washington.
I'm also in the early stages of helping my mom with hospice and end-of-life planning.
And working on business and family taxes.
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?)
