Week 16 of 2025 Instead of a weekly blog post detailing everything he's been up to, Kin sends out a weekly newsletter. It's a good idea (and a good read), and every Monday I think "oh I should do that too." Of course, Kin uses it to link to all...

Week 15 of 2025 It's a Monday, for sure. Even though, temperature-wise at least, it feels a bit more like spring today -- the last few days have felt like “third winter” -- the sky is still partly overcast. And the gloom persists regardless of any blue peeking thru, especially...

Week 14 of 2025 On Monday night, Kin and I walked over to the Rose Theater to see Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. In hindsight, I wish I'd invited my mother, as when we talked later in the week about the concert, her eyes lit up. The records of...

The newsletter I sent out this morning felt incredibly disjointed. I wrote a lot of it on Friday, then deleted much of that on Saturday, and then continued to make minor edits through Sunday evening. All these periods of writing and editing felt disjointed too, as my typical weekend schedule...

Week 12 of 2025 I gave myself a couple of days to be super sad about my terrible half marathon, and then I got back at it: I did deadlifts on Tuesdays (usually that happens on Monday; it happened this morning) and I ran as well. I'm adding a sixth...

Week 11 of 2025 I just hit “send” on today’s Second Breakfast newsletter. I hadn’t intended on doing so. I’d announced in Friday’s newsletter that I was going to take the day off to recover from yesterday’s half marathon. But yesterday’s half marathon was so shitty, I guess I had...

Week 10 of 2025 It’s late in the day on Monday, and I’m still in bed. I’ve been in bed almost all day, save for Poppy’s walk in the park this morning and a couple of treks outside for her to pee. I’m sick -- food poisoning, I think. It’s...

Week 9 of 2025 It’s March already? My god. I’m 13 days out from my spring “A” race -- the NYC Half -- and we can see the first glimmers of a weather forecast. Currently: cold and wet. I think I’d prefer that to hot and humid, but it’s certainly...

Week 8 of 2025 My friend and yoga teacher Margarita often has to remind me, “put your shoulders down.” Certainly when I’m feeling stressed, they lift higher and higher until it feels like they’re up to my ears. After this week, my shoulders are so tight, and they might as...

Week 7 of 2025 I’m not sure if this is a New York thing or 2025 thing, but there are two online influencers -- one with 359K followers and the other with 668K followers on Instagram -- who appear regularly in my offline world: the first at my gym, the...
