In case this is your first time here, this is a reasonably new blog I started, although that statement is a bit complicated. I usually break things up into the three categories you will see below.
This weekend has been very unusual. I went on my first bike ride with BCB, which is unusual in the sense that I don’t usually ride with people, now that Nik is in California. We hosted a medical student on Friday night who got in as we were going to bed and left before Wendy was up (Wendy was on call, else she’d have presumably spent more time with someone applying to her residency program).
Since this is the first blog post since the reboot that I’ve been posting pretty widely, I would have liked to have spent more time on it. As always, if you’d like to see more of what I did this weekend, you can follow my YouTube and my Strava.
Sport Thoughts:
I am going to be doing the 1250km challenge for October. Most of the people in Minnesota will think in miles (including myself), so I have left a daily mileage chart below. 1250km is 776.714 miles, but my chart just does 777 miles
Please let me know if you would like to join. Routes are largely negotiable, and you do not need to come out for the entire ride. The mileage each day is subject to change depending on weather and whatever else is going on.

I guess this is the best category for this. While you are here, has anyone used takecareof.com? It is an interesting idea, but of course it is better to just eat a healthy diet.
Fandom is weird. I really want to not like NCAA sports because the NCAA is a garbage organization and schools should not be spending so much money sports. There should not be so much money spent in sports in general. And yet, I can’t help but get excited about Tua. Side note, dude is just 6’1”. Sure. Russell Wilson is 5’11”, and I do not follow the NFL closely at all, but I do wonder how that will play into his draft prospects.
Two things are particularly interesting.
- breaking the tie with Notre Dame (and getting closer to Yale and Princeton)
2. The whole Alabama-Clemson pattern.
I couldn’t easily get the headers from the Wikipedia page, but it’s not that hard to figure out what is going on I don’t think.

Music Thoughts:
blocSonic has some big news being announced tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Tech Thoughts:
I am leaving this here mostly because this is probably the first blog post I am going to share widely, and tech thoughts is a common piece of my blogs. Please go back through my old posts if you would like to hear my tech thoughts.
