Half-bag Harry
I fly off to SF tomorrow for two days. It’s a work trip, and hopefully will be quite productive. Last time I went, it was just for the day, and I only brought a backpack. With all my work gear, spare shirt, toiletries etc., it was almost bursting. This time, I am bringing a small…

Driving lessons
One thing most parents dread is teaching their children to drive. Fortunately, we probably won’t have to. Seeing videos of the Waymos, Robotaxis, and Tesla’s full self driving cars is crazy. They’re already safer than a human, and will only keep improving. One person described driving three hours from SF to Tahoe and didn’t touch…

Put it on the Weber
We bought a second hand Weber today for $80. Honestly, it might be one of the best deals I have ever found, and the burgers we grilled on it were juicy and delicious. Years ago when I was rowing, we spent so much time together talking trash (or “talking rot” as we called it), that…

Lee was right
One of my heroes of the 20th century was Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of Singapore. His vision and leadership turned a disease ridden fishing village into a futuristic metropolis. I dare anyone to go to Changi Airport and not be amazed. I’ll write about his second big idea tomorrow, but today, I would…

DoD
Aka Dad’s off Duty. That’s the name of our group (?), or at least that’s what I call it. It’s pretty simple; a bunch of guys who catch up and do something together sans kids and partners. In fact, you don’t need to be a dad OR in a relationship, but it tilts that way….

Almost there
We are almost 80% there with unpacking all our stuff. It’s taken ages, but finally, FINALLY, we are starting to see some progress. Having a useable dining table makes a world of difference.

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.
