If you die, are you prepared?

That bottom text message (to myself). You’re in charge of everything. Are your funeral arrangements ready to go if tomorrow never comes? Awesome. Congrats.

If you die, are you prepared?

Sure, it’s lofty (and simple)

Began reading (again) Life of Pi last night.

It would be great if most days we could:

  • Sit outside, doing nothing.
  • Read a few (10-30) minutes every night.
  • Play frisbee for a few minutes (7-15) most nights, before or after sitting doing nothing.
  • Play video games together 30 minutes most nights.

Son, if your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.
