This blog has moved over to a Hugo based site that I generate manually. I did most of the prep work over last weekend and just completed the finishing touches. I’ve started with a simple theme, and hope to build on it in the future. I’ve wanted to do this for a very long time and I’m glad to have gotten here.

It is now hosted on Github Pages where the feature set easily accommodates my needs at this time. I was trying to recall the journey of this blog, and from memory it seems to have gone this route over the last 20-ish years: Blogger, Wordpress, Tumblr, Wordpress, and lastly Micro.blog.

There’s a person in my wife’s run club whose aunt went to school with the Pope, so my Pope number is 4.

Three thoughts from a week of calorie counting on a low carb diet, with no pre-planning:

• It’s frustrating, like all of a sudden finding yourself in a community of people that don’t speak your language.
• Sustaining a feeling of hunger, or quenching it with water, sometimes comes with a weird feeling of gratitude for the comfortable life you’ve built for yourself.
• At the end of the week that burger you like at your local establishment, that you’ve had many times, tastes infinitely better.
