I am 20 years older than you Will, and still feel the same about work. The good news is when you work less you can be more selective and work on the things most important to you. That will become clearer as time moves along.
Speaking of saying yes to opportunities, I’m currently in the Philippines for work (been here 2 hours so far) and the first thing you notice after the smell (not bad just unique) and the stray dogs and the motorbikes (so ok the 4th thing you notice) is all their traffic lights whether red or green have countdown clocks on them, why don’t we all have this!!! It’s the most obvious thing in the world and I’m angry we don’t all have it after one drive seeing them
I'm in retail, and I think this might be the year my feet give out. Pretty sure I have Plantar Fasciitis in my right heel (have a podiatrist appt in a few weeks) and multiple broken toes and residual numbness in my left. Everything else is fine, and I have the will, but it's become harder to get going in the mornings. I've already succumbed to wearing sneakers at work (the horror!). So I can relate to your body finally rebelling after doing what you needed it to do for so long.
Ah. I've never seen that show. I understand it's one of the best shows ever produced, but I avoid the streaming services and most TV in general. That leads to me sometimes not knowing things everyone else does!
Signed up for the new podcast. Cool! Glad you recognize what Kwan is doing. My dad and I are focusing on each at bat. Last night Vogt rested him by having him DH and he was hitless (sort of; his hit was marred by a force out at second). I think he needs to hit and play the field.
He's absolutely out of control. Just finished the new episode just now, it's a fun one. Diaz's sticky stuff pushed back my bedtime a couple of hours, but it was worth it.
Really love the new podcast Will, it's the first thing I listen to each weekday on Audible. It is a great format to consume the previous day's baseball highlights. And the Mays memorial episode this week was simply amazing work.
Great interview with Ramin Setoodeh as well. It was very interesting and insightful. Reading it this morning was like an "ah ha" moment and I asked myself why I hadn't already made the connections that Setoodeh did.
It is better to proactively account for life’s adjustments that to have them thrust upon you. Either way, they are coming; maybe not today or tomorrow, but they are inevitable.
Your mom ran 4 miles this very early morning and was so sopping wet when I got home I had to sit on a towel. Drink lots of WATER.
I still feel 25 most of the time
I still raise a little Cain with the boys
Honky Tonks and pretty women
But Lord I'm still right there with'em
Singing above the crowd and the noise
I just turned 59. You will learn to love naps.

I'm hoping to someday get more selective. Right now I just try to do it all!

I feel like it would make me considerably more sane on the road (and calmer), yes.
Also gives ppl who can’t resist looking at their phones at every light a timer telling them when to get off their bloody phones

Hang in there! [imagine a picture of a cat on a dentist wall here]
Did I miss the part about “granny remembers”?
It's just a quote from the episode of "The Sopranos" I used in the title.

I will say, as someone who gets up at 5:15 every morning and walks the dogs, it's nice that the pod is there waiting for me.
It'll be there for you Monday morning, we just finished 'er.

I drove 4 miles today in a car that doesn’t have working A/C….now I’m replenishing fluids with a Bell’s Two Hearted IPA
this is a smarter way to live.

Thanks! Just finished tonight's, it's a fun one.

Yes, but isn't denial more fun? (OK, probably not.)
