On the way home from work today I had a great chat with one of my oldest and best friends. He was giving me props for blogging, even if ultimately very few people read my posts. I explained I was mostly doing this for myself as a natural outgrowth of my interest in reading and writing. I told him I was enjoying the new habit of trying to post something every day. He shared that he is getting back into Brazilian jujitsu…at 55! He was finding it very rewarding. He also shared his newfound love of Dua Lipa. He knows it is a bit off brand for him, but we both agreed that at this point in our lives we have stopped giving shits about this sort of thing. To paraphrase Mr. Garcia, “we love what we love and we want it that way.” That means he’s got two Dua Lipa concerts to enjoy next week in Seattle. Good for him.

Twenty minutes after our talk I came across the quote below in the excellent book Do/Interesting, which reinforced what we agreed on. Sweet serendipity!
