I was sick, but now I am well.

I’ve started one-on-one kickboxing lessons after a couple of years away from boxing and kickboxing classes. One 30-minute lesson is like a whole hour of group class, I’ve found.

I got new carpet and after they put the furniture back and left, I moved all the furniture into new places all by myself.

A few people have emailed me with praise for my book — yay! — which always feels really good. (Feel free to post it to Amazon too. Hehehe.)

I got fitted for contacts after 10 years with just glasses, so I can ride the Ducati without the glasses frames in the way. And the Ducati sunglasses made especially for riding are amazing — thank you Seth!

What else? My sister and niece visited last weekend and while I got exhausted too soon (due to having had stomach flu the week before), we had a blast at the beach. You haven’t wave-whomped until you’ve done it with a six-year-old clinging to your back.

New column and podcast live tomorrow — in fact, if the podcast is live now, it’s here. But it won’t be official until tomorrow morning.
