QOTD: The tape doesn't lie

Walking more

• William Estep
• Exercise

I’ve been trying to walk more. Since the Covid-19 pandemic started, I’ve gotten even more used to just sitting ‘at home’ in front of a couple of computers for all waking hours.

Fortunately, the neighborhood I’m in has some really good walking areas. There is a great little park nearby, and the wonderful Ortega River Bridge is just down the road. According to my measurements, from my boat to the other side of the Ortega River Bridge and back is just over two miles.

Bulky Swatch Blanket

• William Estep
• Knitting

I’ve started putting together the Bulky Swatch Blanket.

I plan to tile the swatches together somewhat randomly and use different colors for the connecting knitting bands. The swatches are various sizes, so I will keep it random and shoot for a Mondrian-style look. We’ll see how it goes 🙂

We Need More--I Want More

• William Estep
• Equality

The cynic in me wants to say how awful things are and to rail against anything and everyone that doesn’t agree with me. But, if I did that, I’d be just like everyone else 🙂

Seriously though, I know that it doesn’t value me or effect positive change to only bitch and moan. So what will I say?

I’ve made the statement before, that for me personally, this president, President Obama, is the first president we’ve had in my lifetime that I can honestly say I am proud of. He is a well spoken, well educated man who acts from genuine desire to do good. And the list of accomplishments during his presidency are remarkable.
