I was inspired to create this after reading the now page on Derek Sivers’ site. I’ve heard him interviewed on several podcasts and have been harvesting his insights and thinking when I think they’d be useful for making my life better. I’m also adding a “currently reading” section to this as a permanent section.

Dealing with Bullying
My younger kid is getting bullied at the bus stop. As someone who was severely bullied as a kid, I can tell you that my first (and least productive) response is KILL THE MOTHERFUCKERS, but I’m going to involve the school and parents first. That’s going to be my Monday.
Healing
I got a tattoo yesterday, a big one on my right thigh. It’s healing. It’s painful when I bump into stuff.
Heading Into a Day Off
I’m the only person in the house that has Monday off. The kids are at school and Didi is at work. Thus, I have the time to do whatever the fuck I want. I’m going to find a Halloween costume and build a workbench in the garage. Fun times.
