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 …
Earthquakes
I’ve made it back to my blog after another hiatus. I missed hurricane season here in PR by coming back after September, but we’ve had an earthquake outbreak. There have been aftershocks every few hours for the past two weeks, but the large earthquakes seem to have died down. People in the south part of …
2020 Begins
I wasn’t sure how long my holiday blogging hiatus would be, but it seems like a good time to get back to it. Hope everyone had a great holiday season, although here in Puerto Rico we’ve just started. Tomorrow is Three Kings Day, which for many people here is bigger than Christmas and New Years. …
Merry Christmas!
I’m currently in the air on my way to Michigan, looking at the clouds floating over the Caribbean. I’m spending almost a week in the town where I grew up, which is probably the most since I was on holiday break in college. The ocean below still looks warm and inviting, but I know soon …
St. Barth’s and Being more Carnivore
Apologies to my loyal blog followers for taking last week off. Ironically I got back from an amazing trip to St. Barths with plenty of pictures to post for once, but I felt mentally drained. There are many weeks where I’m not sure what I’m going to write and push through anyway, but a few …
Some Things I’m Thankful for
Hope everyone in my little readership had a great Thanksgiving. I went to a friend of a friend’s house here in San Juan and had a great evening. I forgot how quickly you can connect with strangers and have a good time if you’re open-minded to the moment. I’ve done a few Thanksgivings and one …
