Good morning and happy Monday NOSTR Fam!

I've been itching to get this week started since yesterday. I really can't remember the last time I've felt this way on a Sunday.

When I was running the hamster wheel in the fiat mines, Sundays were typically marked with anxiety, regression and in some cases depression. So even though Sundays were typically a day off, they rarely felt like it. Because my mind would begin the race over the meaningless "busy work" I'd be contending with in less then 24 hours.

I have a lot to do this week.

Some of the tasks on my lists may bare no fruit and might be considered a waste of time in retrospect or by some. While other tasks may have the opposite effect by leading me closer towards my "north star"as Martha Beck would describe it.

But none the less, I'm eager to tackle these just the same.

I had a few phone conversations already this morning. One close friend of over 30 years (we served together) asks "it's been a month since you left the fiat mine, do you think it was the right decision?"

I couldn't help but laugh (on the inside) he meant well. It couldn't be more obvious to me in just that moment how different folks with a high time preferences view and experience life.

My response: Al, most people will not see that it was the right decision for me until perhaps another 5-10 years. So when I tell you yes, it was definitely the right decision, I don't have quantitative data to back up that answer yet.

So do me a favor, let's revisit that question in 5 years. "

His response: Bet!

He was one of the beneficiaries of the SVB bail out. Some may think this fact has nothing to do with this note, but it absolutely does if you think about it.

Off to finish the morning hike. Make today a massive Monday.
