Now

This is what I'm up to at the moment (updated Dec 15, 2024).

Late with Christmas preparations.

Very little running these days, but I have added regular strength training to my days, in support of some longer distance trail running goals for 2025.

Work is going well.  I have a good mix of interesting work and reasonable tempo (good deadlines ot keep things moving, not too many things at once.)  I wonder, as I often do, if I'm pursuing too many parallel activities.  

We own a single rental property in addition to our house.  Maintenance needs come and go.  There has been a lot of maintenace this year.  Most of it has been the Spend Money kind, which is fine and expected.  Last week we had the Drop Everything And Be On Site kind of maintenance need.  Water leak appeared from the ceiling of the downstairs apartment. 

This resulted in two unplanned days off work, second-guessing a professional diagnosis and estimate for repair, and finally troubleshooting something the plumber failed to find.  I am not a plumber, but locating problems in complex systems is something I do a lot, so apparently there are some transferrable skills.

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?)
