I've been a bit erratic on my posting as I don't have a firm personal commitment to when I should publish blog posts. For certain periods I was consistent on Sundays, but now I just post when I think about it, which I'm realizing is too infrequent. I just read about Avicii dying, and it …
1 Month in PR + Weekly Recap
This week I had to renew my monthly CrossFit dues for the first time, and I finally accepted the reality that I'm going to become a resident of Puerto Rico. It's a good thing and was the intention for coming here, but in the back of my mind I've been very reluctant to commit. I …
