Starting up again?

So I’ve been thinking of “blogging” again and I’m in the midst of determining where I’ll end up. Medium is an option. I kinda like how you can just write, but create publications around certain subjects. One of mine may be books. Another could be running. Or cycling. Or, God forbid, software development. Each available here, but nicely slotted into neat little online zines. Nifty. I suppose we’ll see what happens…

The Man in the Arena

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins

Like a lot of people I’ve been fascinated by David Goggins after I first heard about him and his accomplishments. I believe this is the first exposure I had to him: Impressive stuff. I’ve listened to numerous podcasts where he was a guest and watched numerous interviews, so when…

Backpacking in Canada — A Never Quit Story

I’ve had a few “never quit” moments in my life. Not a lot, but a few. This is a story about my first experience with pushing past limitations and the power of the mind. It happened on a backpacking trip in my early to mid-twenties. It was me, my younger…

Moving to Medium?

I’ve had some sort of blog on the web since the early 2000s. It’s started, stopped, started again, and stopped again more times than I can count. Consistent posting has never been my strong point. Due to some recent changes in my life and my interests, I’m going to try to post more regularly. We’ll see. I’ve written many posts like this over the years. Let’s see how it works this time.

OVERWHELMED

Lately things have been a bit crazy. Some would say it’s been ‘overwhelming’, and they’d be right. Or, sort of right. There have been a number of things starting to pile up on my mind and in my life. …
