Now

Lately:

• I’m giving myself permission to not try to be the greatest jazz pianist, but focusing instead on writing and recording.

Why:

• I was feeling pulled different directions with no time to do anything well.
• And writing because someone asked me to.
• And because I noticed that I was always wanting to stop an improvisation to perfect this or that note, and recording lets you do that.

Also:

• Back to running after two years away. Warmup, then sprint intervals. Then weights.
• Reading: philosophy (Plato, Emerson), spirituality (Ken Wilbur, Rumi), health, and technical (neural nets).
