It's my birthday!
I am 36!
I am very lucky to have gotten this old without my various diseases killing me. I am glad that in 2024 I was probably the strongest and healthiest I have been in my life, and I plan to continue that in 2025. It turns out that it is never too late to Discover Exercise.
My birthday present to myself is Civilization 7. I got myself one of the versions that comes with "advanced access", a business practice which I have uhhhh ambiguous thoughts about. Nevertheless, I have already played it. I am vulnerable to the brain worms. Getting older does not seem to have cured me of this one.
This year I have an ambition to bike up into some more mountains and perhaps also visit New Orleans via train. No idea if I can do both of these things on the same trip but if I play my cards right (read: my train reservations) it may be possible.
Have a good day! I am writing this at 2 AM but I think I will have a pretty Normal One tomorrow!
