Spent a week in Cancun, in a sprawling resort that featured several impressively outfitted pool areas, a few shops and restaurants, and a sandy beach with a long coastal view of the ocean. Flight was only 2.5 hours so it wasn’t too much trouble to get there with 21 month old emma, who we managed…
We improve at whatever it is we do consistently. So I’ve been trying to figure out what it is each day that I’d like to do. I think it boils down to these things: Exercise + Meditation + Stretching Yard work Walk the dog Clean Make videos Some kind of relationship focused thing. That could…

talked with a highschool basketball coach after playing this morning. He said one of the toughest things was getting people, especially boys, to try harder than what they were comfortable with. I started playing basketball in high school, and fell in love with it some time in college. I was never particularly good at the…
Thao’s family flew into LA for a pre-tet/lunar new year get-together. We shared a rental home with 4 babies and 2 grandmas, and spent most days visiting various Vietnamese restaurants and shops, working around the baby’s schedules.
