Today I read War and Peace Book 3 Part 3 Chapter 4. I am doing a slow read hosted by Simon Haisell. And I would highly recommend his substack for book lovers and those looking for slow reads of great works. For War and Peace this year, every Tuesday, he posts an overview of the past weeks reading with lots of offshoots to explore, such as art, music, and history. Today was that day, and I had fun with all the tangents, even though this week's reading was anything but fun! (Think the Battle of Borodino and the things that followed.) I love how differential calculus came to play during this discussion. Also learned about the parallel development of differential calculus by Newton and Leibniz! Wild to think that this went down in the mid to late 17th century.
I also love this thought, I believe from Haisell, that if you have at least 6 people hanging together, one will be spouting nonsense for sure!
Goal walks: I have a goal to get in 13 of a certain type of intense, long walk this month. I am lagging behind where I want to be for this goal, but I still think I can do it! Today I walked 3.09 miles in 1 hour and 5 minutes, which is good for me! I didn't have any noticeable pain. Woohoo!
What I ate today:
Today I also went to my sons Michael's and Ollie's house and spent some time playing with their cats (because they are traveling).
The day included an emergency Walmart run and now I must finish my chores!
"...if you have at least 6 people hanging together, one will be spouting nonsense for sure!" Which one of us in the family is spouting nonsense? ^o^
