  • Messi

    On Saturday, a buddy and I went down to Mile High Stadium to see the Colorado Rapids take on the absurdly named Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami, better known as Inter Miami. Usually the Rapid’s play at the historic Dick’s Sporting Goods Arena (“the Anfield of the Rockies”), but this was no ordinary game. The…

  • Affordable luxury

    For my entire life, I’ve worn either Bonds underwear (if I’m lucky) or random/generic brand (if I’m not). This isn’t necessarily an unwise or misfortunate life path, those 4 for $20 deals really are a steal! However, the 50% off sale at Tommy John had led me down a new road. A pair of boxers…

  • Scramble

    This afternoon I got off work a little early and headed into the mountains with my buddy Eric, formerly of Bass Couch fame. He is an avid scrambler, and not of the egg variety. All scrambling is hiking, but not all hiking is scrambling. The big difference is, to borrow Eric’s academic vernacular, the degrees…

  • Lid

    I have been thinking of growing my hair out a bit longer. The downside is that during the growing phase, it can get a bit untidy. I was looking a bit wooly, so off to the shearing shed I went. Except this time, it was at a friend’s place. One of Ky’s good buddies is…

  • The list

    A few messages, I wrote about trialling a 72 hour Not To Do list, crowdsourced from readers. You can read it HERE. So far, the list of Not To Do’s are: It starts at 7am Tuesday and concludes 7am Friday. Any additional requests will be added, within reason.

  • Back to the Bar

    I ran out of body wash the other day, and while doing my research on what a suitable replacement could be, decided that it was probably best to invest in bar, rather than liquid. Obviously if you’re buying soap for a communal gym shower, then the bar is a bit unpleasant, but that is far…

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.
