What a month!

Excerpts

🇮🇳 & 🎾

The 🇮🇳 trip went great but I got hit by a nasty case of Delhi belly on Day 5 by accidentally dipping my samosa generously in some sweet tamarind chutney1.

I’ve really gotten back into Tennis 🎾 and enjoying every bit of it.

📺 Mentalist binge

My wife and I basically went on a Mentalist binge. It’s a show I watched for 5 seasons and then paused for some reason. We enjoy detective murder mysteries but with slightly less darkness. My wife was so hooked that I think we plowed through an entire season in two days. While the show is not emmy worthy necessarily, it had a decent enough conlcusion to the Red John mystery - lacking from most long running shows today2.

Upcoming Sabbatical

Instacart–my current employer–gives us 4 weeks of sabbatical every 4 years. I’m closing in on year 8 without taking the first one, so I decided Jan 2023 was going to be the 🏖️ month. But in preparation for a 4 week leave, Work has been brutal, so probably have to keep that in mind as I review December’s goals.

🎧 New earbuds

Bought new earbuds - Bose QC Earbuds II as I gave my previous Airpods to my dad. I love the noise cancelation with the Bose, but given I ditched plans of moving to a Pixel3, figured I should get the Airpods Pro Gen2.

Review December’s Goals

Goals for January


  1. While I was extremely careful with not drinking water or uncooked raw items, the Samosa landed up being too spicy and the closest thing I could find is the sweet tamarind chutney so dunked it in there. 🤦 ↩︎

  2. yes… looking at you GOT. ↩︎

  3. Talked about this in this episode↩︎
