Perspectives

Got a call from the Leon County Department of Health to schedule getting vaccine for my mother-in-law and I. Overall, went well. Good job by the Leon County DOH team.

It is the first weekend of the new year and I have been thinking about habits I would like to form and ones I would like to break in 2021. There was a great piece about this on Art of Manliness today.

I set a goal of 24 books (2 a month) for 2020. Despite being pretty busy on both a personal and professional level i was able to accomplish this and actually exceeded my goal by quite a bit.

Reading an excerpt from Known by Mark Schaefer. Haven't decide if it makes the Want To Read list just yet, but thought this quote was worth consideration.

"If We Can" is a quote from Chuck Palahniuk highlighted by Tim Ferris this week. It asks questions that seem especially relevant as 2020 draws to a close.

Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas!

A few moments of prayer and reflection on Christmas Day 2020. This has been such a difficult, pain-filled year for so many. So on this Christmas morning, let's reflect together on how the human spirit can overcome anything as Horatio Spafford said so well in "It is Well With My Soul".

I have always been a Christmas morning guy. As many of you know, my wife and her family came to the United States from Havana, Cuba. As we combined our families, one of the traditions Teresa introduced Ryan and I to is Noche Buena.

Wife and I got to have a few hours that seemed ‘almost’ normal today. We ran several long-overdue errands. All of the businesses we went to were following the Leon county mandated protocols on masks, density, social distancing, and cleaning. Other customers seemed to be abiding by the same and everyone was pretty patient and accommodating of those around them.

Zantac has always been my go to remedy. When it got pulled last April, I was concerned about the effectiveness of the alternatives. Tonight, that concern was confirmed.

I wrote this as the Thanksgiving 2020 message to our team at Outcome Labs, our clients, partners, and all their families. Thought I would share it here too.Teresa, Ryan and I wish each of you a safe and happy holiday.

One of the indulgences my wife and I like to share is a good cookie. Recently, we discovered the Cranberry Honey Cookies being baked by Carlos, the Assistant Bakery Manager at our neighborhood Publix.
