Went to the galleria to get my new Warby Parker glasses adjusted. Stopped by Mendocino Farms on the way home, and had the best sandwich I have had in years. Looking forward to the Folsom store opening soon. 

The afternoon was spent reviewing research articles and my dissertation outline. More like fretting about it. Specifically, worrying that I am woefully behind schedule. Maybe I need a dissertation coach. Sandwiches are a nice distraction.

Writing

one day you’ll find yourself writing. Writing is rewriting. It’s excising words and reworking thoughts until an idea is expressed as concisely and precisely as possible. Persistent writing and rewriting begets both clarity and style.

In summary: repetition + consistency = results
I need to be writing. I need to work on my dissertation, or at least get close to completion. And, I need to get back on my exercise program.
So, I've made a commitment to myself that it starts today. Writing for no less than 4 hours each day, followed by or preceded by no less than one hour of vigorous exercise.

Morning Zen interrupted. Subie’s check engine light came last night. 

Had a nice breakfast with the kids at Sunshine Cafe while we waited for Subie. It was right around the corner from the dealership and the weed district of Cathedral City. I've never seen such a high (see what I did there?) concentration of dispensaries and grow operations in one place.
