Too bad I missed it. Love Rothko, and recently watched a documentary about him. Thanks Rick for telling me.

My notes on the opening a discussion on critical thinking. Chris Nordin asked me to present this topic to the Open Minds group: "Are there areas of experience, such as a spiritual quest, which are not subject to critical thinking or which are beyond logic?"

When in 2010-13 my inbox became unmanageable after two of the online groups I managed became popular, I changed the way I communicate in writing. I published a statement about the way I treat mail, summarized answers to most common questions, explained my limits in time and qualification.

Speaking more than one language can enrich one's worldview and help us to evaluate situations from multiple perspectives at once, as I have noticed in myself and others.
However, the example below suggests that the surrounding couture might have a more significant impact.

Yes, today on my 17K walk I have seen this scene: two guys in red shirts were caring a white sofa through the park, and a boy in white ran around them.
Below is a simple list of my more significant runs and walks (those much longer than 10K) in the last months of 2017, in kilometers (km, or K), starting with the most recent ones:
- December: 17, 9, 9, 12, 9, 9, 8, 9, 7, 8, 10, 9, 7, 10
- November: 10, 11, 8, 8, 7, 7, 7, 10, 10,11.
I do not count those under 5K.
It looks like I was not making my usual former 10K! I did not track the distance during the runs - it interrupts my audio-books, and I prefer to look at it later - and assumed that the distance I measured earlier was enough. Now I need to run about 1 km further to add 2K and make sure I make over 10 km (6.2 miles). There are a few days left in December, so maybe I could add a few 10s in my list.

When I need to fly, I always try to request a fruit plate or a vegan dish of some kind, or at least vegetarian, even though I am unlikely to eat most of it.
This year I got lucky on my way to Europe with the fruit on a Lufthansa flight, and it made the trip more pleasant.

Short after an unusually early run today I measured my heart rate, oxigen and stress levels, and have chosen my mood - happy. And then I have noticed I was apparently quite stressed :)

I found a very big papaya in a local growers store, around 13 inches long. And it was good too.

It seems to be a grapefruit season, so I've been buying them in big bags and making daily juice out of three large grapefruits. It takes a couple of minutes with this simple tool - I used to have one made of stainless steel - but the hard plastic works well too.
Grapefruit juice is so delicious, make some!

Today I went for a short run, five kilometers, first time after many days of rain. My heart rate (61 bpm) and SpO2 measurements are good.
