One can only hope for a long and brutal fight, much damage. Mutual annihilation would be great. Pass the popcorn.

My wife is having cardiac surgery right now, I am staying at a hotel near the hospital, working remotely, trying to keep busy and not think about it too much.

Specifically, good things on the World Wide Web: research. The amount of good information available is incredible, compared with pre-Internet times. Weather forecasts, what the space telescope is looking at, what’s happening in other parts of the world places in their own voice.

Sure, there is misinformation as well, and some people will cast doubt on anything they don’t like or try to drown it out, but get past that, and this is a golden age of knowledge.

Pushing a tricycle around the yard. It was too big for me to ride. About 3 years old. I know it’s my real memory because it’s very sensory, the grass was tall and tickled my legs, and the trike was rusty and squeaked. It feels slightly alien, I can’t quite understand 3 year old me.

All of the above. Depends. Speakers for when I want to share with others, or no one else will be disturbed. Noise canceling headphones when I want to isolate myself from the surroundings. Ear buds when I want to be portable.

I do. I do it every day, at a public gym/pool. It was originally a way to maintain or regain “ability” (don’t call it “fitness”, I’m still old and fat). After a while, you start feeling better, and some time after that, start noticing things are getting worse if you don’t do it.

For me, doing something fun, out of the house with others, helps a lot. Spin class, circuit training, water aerobics, having others around doing the same thing is motivating. I worked with a trainer for a while, they helped come up with things I like, for example, one of my favorites is tossing a medicine ball. Don’t ask me why, but I like that.

If you don’t enjoy it, try something else.

The first time I did a web site that was any use to other people, was exactly like this.

I don’t necessarily agree with everything they say either, but I do believe that diversity is good, and big, opaque media run for financial gain are not my personal favorites.
