These were my first pair of Nike Frees when I first joined Nike back in the 2000s. I wore them everyday. But darn I just announced my “values” to the world. I want them, but I don’t need them, but I want this. Damn, life is not fun.
I was hired as a Bravely Pro last week. Bravely is an online coaching company. It hires contract coaches (Bravely Pro- my latest professional moniker) to provide on-demand coaching to employees of Bravely’s corporate clients. So yes, I am now in the gig economy.

I fell ill- fever, sore throat, nasty cough. The feeling in the first morning of recovery is special. I feel weak but hopeful. I feel refreshed, and it’s a rare kind of refreshed.
