What I’m doing now

Updated November 12, 2025.

Reading

Currently reading Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland. These are all the books I read in 2024.

Top 100 of 2024

I created a list of the Top 100 Things That Made My Year for 2024.

Presence Process

I’m making my way through The Presence Process, which includes ten weeks of reading assignments, the repeating of mantras, and daily breathing exercises.

Working Out with The Pump App

Arnold has his own fitness app, The Pump. I signed up for a membership half a year ago and have been following the workout program to great results. Keep going.

Walking 8K Steps Every Day

10K steps makes it feel like too much of my day was focused on walking. 8K feels like the sweet spot for me.

Playing Pickleball

I have a steady group of guys I play with every Friday morning.

Noting my Dreams

If I can remember them, I write my dreams down every morning. I’m always surprised when I flip back through them.

Writing Every Day

Every day I write. My writing takes a few different forms:

• I retrieved my vintage typewriter from the closet and started writing letters. Sally Mann insists you should write letters, so I’m giving it a shot.
• In the evenings, I fill up two pages in my diary with my brush pen. Here’s an example of the best books I read in 2023. I draw cartoons, make diagrams, copy quotes, write poems and anything else that stirs me.
• I write the events of the day in my One Line before bed.

Hiking

Most of my Sundays include a hike. The trail I visit the most is 8.6 miles.
