Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence..

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.

It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid instead of trying to be very intelligent😁

Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.

Important.
Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

BREAKING: Hope Returns as New Leaders Take Office in New York and Detroit

A street scene from the '90s (see Alt txt for more info). This detailed watercolour drawing of mine from >30 yrs ago of King's Parade, #Cambridge was completed on the spot in about 3 hours. I was sitting on a metal box that controlled the rising bollards. Sold ages ago. #watercolour #enpleinair

Now reading the third book of A Song of Ice and Fire, A Storm of Swords, by George R. R. Martin! Another illustrated edition, I think we all know why it's red 😉. I know most of what happens in this one because of the show, but I'm excited to see the differences! #Booksky #ASOIAF #GameofThrones

one of my favorite things to do is move one or two pieces of furniture maybe like 3 feet and then say it “opens up all kinds of possibilities”

Thinking about the totally relatable John Hughes film SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL, in which a teenage boy has to choose between
a) The Hottest Girl On The Planet and
b) The Equally Hottest Girl On The Planet.

Giving up doesn’t always mean you’re weak, sometimes it means you are strong enough and smart enough to let go and move on🙂

First book of 2026 is The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social. I have no regrets about this decision.

Finished up this delightful book nook build that spouse got me for Xmas. It was soothing blend of Lego building and puzzle making that I found extremely satisfying, promoting extreme focus and deep work that magically settled anxiety. Now I understand the "old people working on puzzles" stereotype.
