Blog Post #12: NYC
I’m not one for quotes, especially from books, but there are some exceptions. Here is (possibly) my favorite: The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty of the world. Taken from F. Scott Fitzgerald masterpiece The…

Blog Post #11: Debate Night
The fourth (and perhaps final) Republican Primary Debate was on last night, and I half-heartedly tuned in last night while making dinner. For those out of the loop (which is now about 90% of people), the rules of the debate meant that Haley, DeSantis, Trump and Chris Christie qualified, while outsider Vivek Ramaswamy failed to…

Blog Post #10: Website
Over the past 24 hours, I have building my website to share my blog. What struck me most was how much easier it has been to create than previous attempts; a few years ago I tried to create something similar, and it was a complex and ultimately unsuccessful task. A lot of this is due…

Blog Post #9: Going Premium
I recently injured my back, and while it has improved (a lot!) I’m still not at 100%. To deal with this, my wife and I have decided to upgrade to premium economy for $500 going from Auckland to Vancouver, a journey of 13 hours. I have never flown higher than economy, and I’m certainly appreciating…

Blog Post #8: Catchup
It should be easy running a daily blog that only takes 45 seconds or so a day to post to; but yesterday, I forgot. I’m thinking of ways of preventing this from happening, and have come to the conclusion that what I need some systems. Solution 1 is “write as soon as I think of…

Blog Post #7: Winners are grinners
Those who know me know that I’m a Newcastle United fan, which is always been an oddity. Newcastle have never in my lifetime been a contender, and while my mum is from the UK, she grew up in London, hundreds of kilometers away from St James’ Park. In my lifetime Newcastle have been relegated, and…

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.
