Went to meet an old friend

Ashley and we got to know each other during the Covid days when we would drive to Pig Tales and sit by the lake side. Most of the time, she would get us the food and drink. We got to know her and her family very well. She was going to get married to Mark in October that year if I remember correctly. I still have the picture of the wedding dress she had picked and sent to Sharmila and myself.

Lot has changed since the Covid days. She is now happily married to Mark. The sons have grown up so much. And she works now in Twisted Oar. Which is where we drove the boat to meet her!

How Not To Present Yourself

I seem to attract more than my fair share of LinkedIn requests from folks who describe themselves as “visionary”. I wonder if one were to do reference calls on them, how many would use that word to describe them.

What do you think? Can one call oneself “visionary”? (that too in a public forum?). Shouldn’t one wait for others to call them “visionary”? Considering oneself “visionary” seems to be merely hallucinating.

The calves are holding up

Tried the same distance again – 5K in the new ON shoes. But today, I tried a variety of surfaces. Looks like the calves endured the stress. I feel like I am free to run again. Will try a little longer distance next time.

Letter writing – sitting in our balcony

Of course, letter writing for me is as much about writing with a fountain pen as much as it is about the pyrotechnics that follow it!!

Which reminds me – I got into sealing with wax after visiting the Dallas Fountain Pen Show last year. This year, in the Atlanta Pen Show, there was not even a single person selling the wax seal stuff!
