February Review

This is going to be a lame post. I just don’t hav anything to say but I felt like I haven’t posted in a while and I want to try to be more active this month. February was the usual brick wall that the New Year’s Resolution momentum smacked into. On the New Things front, I only have hit 44 after two months, which puts me on pace for just over half of my goal of 500. Again, I’m revisiting more old haunts this year so the New Things haven’t been the sole priority but fewer than 50 New Things is a disappointing start to the year.

I got back into buying sports cards again. I revamped my strategy a bit although I still do just get addicted to the action so it’s still not the greatest approach. But this round, I focused on MLB and NFL prospects. I probably should have started this earlier - especially for the MLB prospects - as prices usually rise when spring training starts.

Writing wise, 2026 has been a bust. I haven’t worked on anything. Ditto for the workout front. I’m trying to get myself amped up to use the calisthenics app that I signed up for but it feels like it’s going to be another day of pushing it off until tomorrow.

On the bright side, I absolutely nailed the Sunday NYT word games. Even got the purple first on Connections. I think they might have made things easier to kick off the month. In this case, March is coming in like a lamb.

March is a tricky month. My job is going to kick into high gear this week but I also have weekend trips for my nephew’s birthday and the Vegas for March Madness. I’m kind of regretting the Vegas trip, especially since it seems like most people I know aren’t making the trek for the opening round of the NCAAs this year, but it’ll be nice to get out of LA and that should give me a chance to knock off some new things.
