With the cycling season over, and Clara in Turkey on a boat with terrible internet, I have had little to do the past couple weekends other than entertain myself in Washington DC. Labor day weekend I played Starcraft online late into the night with a couple Deerfield buds, had a great low key bike ride with my Squadra Coppi pals, followed by an hour or two hanging out at the coffe shop afterwards, and hit a bucket of balls at the driving range. Labor day itself was dedicated to lounging around in my apartment. This weekend was not a whole lot different.
All of this helped me reflect on the value of all the friends I have in my life, as well the importance of time for reflection. Down time is important, and it’s been harder and harder for me to get away from all the distractions in my life for more than a few minutes. But I need to do more of just that.
