I’m writing you from a cozy coffee shop in Utah overlooking the mountains. It goes without saying now, but my blog schedule is likely to continue to be sporadic. I wish I could produce these without any effort, and even though the quality and level of writing appear that I’m not trying, it actually takes …
One Month in Utah and Random Thoughts
I’m still in Utah, closing in on a month as of today. It’s everything I could want for a summer residency: beautiful mountain views/fresh air/amazing hiking, good weather, good coffee, a great gym, nice people, and the right amount of infrastructure (Whole Foods, etc.) that I don’t feel lacking in any first world convenience. I …
Utah
I am currently in Utah, about 30 minutes outside of Salt Lake City. Coming from a heavy quarantine/initial stages of a sweaty summer in Puerto Rico, it feels like I’ve moved into the Ritz Carlton. I’m residing in my friend Ari’s amazing childhood home, and it’s been a great few weeks. It’s odd to leave …
Trading Thoughts and Recommendations
I finally made some solid initial summer travel plans, starting with a one-way ticket to Utah on June 11. I’ve been planning to visit my friend Jeff in Montreal and then head to Sweden for the summer for a long time, but closed borders changed things. Fortunately my friend Ari in Utah has offered to …
Bored With the Status Quo
I’m finally genuinely bored of procrastinating and waiting for the quarantine world to change before I make progress in my own life. I did my new normal Monday workout last week of a few sets of handstand holds, pushups, and rubber band rows that is definitely better than nothing, but a fraction of the intensity …
Long Overdue Update
Enough weeks have finally passed that have pushed me over the edge to write a blog post. I’m either mentally attempting to blog regularly, or I’m on a hiatus, and the past few months I just haven’t had the motivation for it. I’ve started and stopped this post several times, with less to say as …
In Medellin
I fell off the internet for a few weeks now, sorry about that. I’m starting week 3 here in Medellin, and I’ve had virtually no downtime. On the weekends I’ve had to catch up on work and unwind a little bit, and I didn’t have the motivation to write when my eyes and brain were …
One More Week
After talking with Jeff, I realized that I wasn’t clear in my blog last week about when I’m leaving for Colombia. He thought it was imminent, but I’m actually not going until Feb 17th. Sorry for any confusion. If I get a post up next week, it should be my last one from the United …
Going to Medellin
As much as I talk about staying put and being content here in my little bubble of paradise, I end up booking trips eventually. I’ve had a great period of productivity (although it was a randomly crappy month of trading results, but I have a new algorithm running now that is very promising) recently, but …
Vieques
I got back last night from an impromptu weekend trip to the Puerto Rican island Vieques. My girlfriend found an airline service Taxi Aereo where she chartered a private flight for the two of us for something like $350, which was awesome. On the way back we had our flight booked at 1 pm, but …
