Saturday morning walk


Since I adopted Obélix, our Saturday morning routine has been to take a long walk just after we wake up.  This Saturday morning was no different, and we chose a different route which offered a nice view of the sunrise.  As I mentioned on Morning One, my mind is free to wander during these walks, sometimes thinking about work, but more often not.

On this walk I thought about what I'd like to do with my Saturday morning.  My normal routine is to enjoy a good breakfast and watch some political comedy, such as Bill Maher clips from the night before, to keep up with politics and (hopefully) enjoy a laugh or two.  Then I'm free to work on whatever I want to: I've come to use my weekends as an opportunity to advance on whatever matters most to me.  Almost like a two-day Startical without the writing and introspection.

This particular morning I've decided it would be great to catch up on my Startical writing and introspection which I'm now doing...

Reminiscing about last year's epic rail journey

Last year today I embarked on an epic rail journey from Montreal to Chicago via Vancouver and Seattle.  This time of the year is pretty much the only time I can completely escape startup life (and Internet connectivity), and a year ago I seized the opportunity to do something I'd been dreaming of since childhood: take "The Canadian" across Canada. Sat down with a beer and watched my videos from that trip (see playlists below) which brought back very fond memories not only of the trip itself, but also of Startical 1.0 which involved a similarly ridiculous Montreal to San Francisco rail journey. The playlists: "The Canadian" - Toronto to Vancouver by rail "The Empire Builder" - Seattle to Chicago by rail Also reminds me of my  Rails and Reels: History, Infrastructure and the IoT blog post from 2013, just after we had become "World's Best Startup".  Somehow rail journeys bring out the philosopher in me...
