Updated April 29th, 2024 from my home in Phnom Penh. It’s the hottest time of the dry season. The forecast for today said “feels like 47 (celcius).”

My father passed away #

My father passed away on April 20th. He had been in a bad situation but the doctors he had seen were convinced he would make a full recovery and had told him so until a few days before his death. We did not have a chance to say our goodbyes.

Activities & projects with my daughter #

My daughter is unschooled. I like to help her follow her interests, so this is an area where I research, read, and spend time with her.

Restaurant #

Opened a small vegan restaurant a couple of months ago. Looking for a place to relocate it to on account of a terrible landlord. This should be included in business, but the idea is for it to enrich our community by providing one more vegan option.

Mom’s visit #

Mom will be staying long-term with us now. We need to go to Mexico soon and sort things out so she can come back to stay here without worries.

Business #

Business has improved dramatically over the past eight months. This means we’re busier but also that we have more interesting projects and ideas for new projects taking shape.

Fitness #

I have been less consistent than I would like with fitness, although all-in-all I still go to the gym with consistency. The next step will be to increase the effort made at each workout.

Blog #

The blog has been abandoned over the past eight months. I hope to start writing on it again. The Now page has been revived thanks to Derek Sivers sending an email earlier today.

Books #

Thinking of revisiting some favorites on stoicism as a way to help with the grief from my father’s death.
