Pleased a smacked radish might give you a bit of a break from the tumult.

Chopped veg + thinly sliced steak off the barbie + balsamic vinaigrette + grilled baguette + cold beer = summertime perfection! ☀️

You can go on over to the "Health and Wellness" notes feed and get instant-brain-rot from the anonymous staccato blather. You mock it well!

Thanks, John! I try and stay out of anything except my following for that very reason!

Beautiful piece and I'm very happy to hear again you liked the fideuà and that you had leftover fumet! Great idea for a meal to use it up! 🥰

Your writing challenges me!

It is superb, yet on another level. Something like “Cat in the Hat Esoteric Version.”

Your summer meals sound amazing, especially as I sit at my desk wolfing down a stale bagel.

I love you, my Brilliant Thinker.

What is my job, if not to challenge!

And nothing wrong with a stale bagel!

This article resonates quite a bit. I regularly contemplate my rhythm in a sparring session, a ruck, writing, project, presentation, etc. Love the analogy to the river and the man 👊🏻

100%. Without helpful reflection like the piece you just made, however, your flow starts to blow

And at the risk of sounding droll -- that would be a big "no!"
