We checked out Vivir for brunch this morning and were blown away. We got the Torta and the Chilaquiles Verde. Delicious. Will be back! ๐คค


Had a great ride this morning on Matt Wilpers 75-minute Power Zone Endurance Ride. My first 75 minute ride so a PR by default. 815 kJ. Definitely started to gas out after 60 minutes. ๐ด๐ป #FitByFifty

I like the idea of using Emoji to indicate status. Fun!

From todayโs Economist Espresso:
Pfizerโs chief executive said that people everywhere are likely to need a third dose of covid-19 vaccine within 12 months, with annual boosters for the foreseeable future to keep abreast of viral variants. His remarks, made on April 1st, were disclosed yesterday. The White House said that America is already preparing for the need to administer booster shots.
Covid-19 isnโt going to โgo awayโ. I fully expect weโll be getting annual vaccinations for several years. With science and knowledge we will be able to manage it.

Reading List: Think Again
Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know by Adam Grant arrived today. This book hit my radar via Three Star Leadership and Tools & Toys. “Itโs about the learning culture between your ears.โ That put this in on my list right away! ๐
Got my Elgato Key Light added to my setup. Having it attach to the desk is key for the standing position. It is also nice to be able to control color and brightness from the Stream Deck. It can get very bright too. ๐
Mazie finished her LEGO Grand Piano build today. It is one of the most intricate LEGO I have ever seen.
You can connect it to your phone and it will respond to, or move, the piano keys.
I started building the LEGOยฎ NASA Apollo Saturn V this morning. Iโve wanted to build this for a long time. ๐
