I’m on the flight back from SF after spending three days there for work. It was nothing short of terrific. Sam Fran gets a bad rap. People talk about it as a progressive hell hole, a drug and depravity filled disaster zone, or (and this is my favourite term) “”West Coast Gotham”. There is no…

Yesterday I wrote about the tough circumstances that my grandfather endured during the early stages of his life. Today, I would like to write about what came next. Arriving back to the UK at 21, Bob was what you would call a catch. His time in Malaya might have been brutal, but thanks to the…

Today was the funeral of my Grandfather, Arthur Taylor, although he was known primarily as Bob. He lived in an extraordinary life, despite in many ways being a very typical person. Across 92 years, he lived through such an interesting period of history, and had some stories to share about what he saw, experienced, and…

I ran the Denver Half Marathon today, after completing a rather haphazard training regime. I had only done one or two runs over 7ks, plus a bunch of 5km runs, so I was worried I was going to be put through the wringer. You’ll be glad to know that it actually worked out rather well.…

This evening, Ky and I put up some art work around the house. It has certainly brought some color to our place! This piece is my favourite, made by Dave Shrigley from the UK. It’s bold, bright, and always makes me a little happier looking at it. Other than that, we finally got around to…

I have a long run planned on Sunday, so I wanted to give my legs a break this afternoon while still getting in some cardio. Lucky for me, our apartment complex has a gym. And that gym has a peleton. Peleton’s have achieved meme status in the fitness industry. They’re ABSURDLY expensive; a new Peleton…

Things must be going badly for President Biden, because he has decided to pull the trigger and challenge Donald Trump to a debate. It’s certainly a surprise. My guess is that Biden has seen the data from the swing states, and realised he has to make a move. This is a high risk move for…
