Seasoned
I learned just today that there are only two ways to season food: with salt or with acid. This is because “seasoning” means to enhance flavour, not change it. Pepper changes flavour. Herbs change flavour. But salt (assuming you don’t add so much the food becomes salty), you are improving the base, taking it from…

Three Bs
We have a friend travelling to India tomorrow for work. He’ll be there for 10 days, and I’m fairly sure this will be his first trip to a non-first world nation. He’s in for a treat. I’ve only been to India once, but I still think my advice is solid. If you want to avoid,…

Lunch Date
One of the nice things about working at home is the flexibility it offers. While sometimes I think it could be nice to be in a more social environ from time to time, there are also days like today. Around 11:30, I closed my laptop and had a lunch date with my daughter at the…

The not so short run
I have a friend who works for a top VC fund in the Bay Area. Part of the job description is generating slop for LinkedIn; even the most desirable occupations have their issues it seems. Like all slopfests, there are occasional pearls of wisdom. Here is one I saw which I thought was worth sharing:…

Dispirited
Spirit Airlines, the RyanAir of North America, shut down last weekend. Just like Lime, they will be missed. I have only flown Spirit once, but it was a memorable one. In fact, it was my first flight into the United States as an adult (I came to New York as a very young child). As…

Mogged
I wandered past our local pub this evening and saw a young guy shuffling some cards in front of what I assumed was his date. The weather wasn’t kind so it kept strolling, but if I had to guess, he was mid or pre magic magic truck. Bold strategy. Many, many, many years ago, I…

Why I started this blog
I don’t really use Social Media anymore; I’m too young for Facebook, too old for SnapChat, too normie for Discord and too boring for Instagram. While this buys me back time and peace of mind, it means that it can sometimes be difficult to share my life with my friends and family outside of phone calls and in-person meetups. As I live overseas, this can be a difficulty.
With this in mind, and inspired my friend Dan Cullum (check out his fantastic site HERE), I have started a daily blog. Not only will I be able to share my ideas, news, and stories to friends and family, but it serves as a time capsule as I move through life. In the future, I look forward to seeing how my views, opinions, and ideas change over time. At the very least, it is an exercise in discipline, and may be of interest to my descendants at some time in the future.
While I imagine most followers of this blog will be friends and family, all are welcome to subscribe. Feel free to email at harry@harrywetherall.com, I reply to every message, and would love to hear from you.
