March 13

A few thoughts from today + yesterday:
  • When playing bass, I had the thought "just play something straightforward that unambiguously gets the job done." So I played some simple licks. Sometimes that's all you need to do.
  • Being well in the bedroom is a mental game as much as anything.  I need to give myself a lot of slack for this, along with everything else in my life right now, just because of the pandemic and how it's affected us. I do still love Jayme, but sometimes things have gotten weird and awkward between us in ways I didn't expect when we got married. Funny how being with someone you know so well can still be that way.
  • I need to start keeping a gratitude journal. 
  • What if I truly gave up fretting about what will happen to the next grant proposal, the next paper submission, even my renewal or tenure case? 
Beginning a running list of things in a life I love:
  • Being an unadulterated version of myself. A la long-haired Colombian guy and Jose Andres.
  • Developing technologies and doing science that directly benefits humanity.
  • More to come later...
