  • Chilly

    A polar vortex is spreading across the country, and right now it’s -10 degrees Celsius. It’s very, very cold. Too cold to go outside. Too cold to really do anything. In a twist of fate, the three of us are all at slight gradations under the weather, so not feeling bad about being cooped up…

  • Lockout

    I have cut down my social media significantly over the past few years. I keep Facebook for the Messenger and Marketplace feature, but go to the site a few times a year now, and am perpetually amazed at how empty and terrible it is. I never had Instagram, bar a two week-trial, and I delete…

  • Prehab

    Ky and I are off skiing next weekend, and I don’t want these dusty old knees to get pummeled. Rather than spending time and money I don’t have on rehab, I have asked ChatGPT to build a gym program on prehab. There is no workout that will stop some bonged out snowboarder cannonballing into you…

  • Snow Day

    Two nights ago, it snowed. It has been three years since we lived out here in the mountains, and I must say, I still love it when we get blanketed in the white stuff. There are downsides; it is COLD, it feels like 90% of the drivers must have moved to the state from Hawaii…

  • Ups and downs

    Today was Martin Luther King Day over in the States. It’s not widely observed, so Ky and I decided to do our own thing. MLK lived an interesting life, full of ups and downs, soaring highs and crushing lows. Do you know who also experiences that regularly? The average cowboy competing at the Denver Stock…

  • IKEA

    We’re back state-side, and apart from getting better from a pesky illness, our main goal today was a mission to IKEA. I don’t love the Swedish behemoth (although I certainly don’t hate it), but I see why people do. It’s a company that really, really tries. They clearly have an army of people figuring out…

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.
