1. What I'm not eating -

• When I was in dental school I had a massive spinach salad every day for lunch. I didn't know it then, but spinach can be a real prick.

• The best things in life are free. We all know that. But I think the next best things in life are cheap. Like this $8 knife. Life-changing.   

• Few people have fallen further. He was on top of the world and crashed to the bottom. All the critics said he would stay there. But I think deep down the human spirit roots for others to overcome obstacles and emerge victorious. This was a victory in more ways than one.

• I've heard it a million times. But I had a visceral experience recently. An inmate with a life sentence explained how he passes his days of "hell" in prison. Yet the vary activities that make up his days of "hell" are the things that make my days "heavenly." Perspective is everything.

• Innovation adoption tends to go through similar phases. It often starts as a toy, laughable to everyone but a small group of weirdos. As the innovation spreads it goes from a joke, to something that is mocked in fear, to something that needs to be regulated. Bitcoin seems to be following the trend.

7. What's coming -

• I had 8 vials of blood sucked out of my arm on Thursday. It's for lab work to see the impact of eating 3+ lbs of meat/day (along with zero fruit, vegetables, or any plant-based matter whatsoever). I'll be unpacking the results right here. Stay tuned :) 

It's a pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!

P.S.
Thank you so much for all the book recommendations last week! I now have a pile of books next to my reading chair to start devouring.
