I started a new diet focusing on plants for protein and although this is exciting it is definitely outside my comfort zone. And day two, I came down with a bug. Hopefully I will be better tomorrow; need to exercise. 🏊‍♂️

My friend was on vacation at a beautiful casa overlooking the bay of Manzanillo. So glad she contacted me to come visit as I live just an hour away. It was a sweet reunion.

I’m preparing to do The Living Proof Challenge 2024. The tests I need to take are ones I am interested in checking out anyway. I’m most curious about my bone density. theproof.com/livingpro…

The water is sure to be cold and I will do my daily swim. There is never a question of “do I feel like it?” This is how my commitment to swimming works. 🏊‍♂️

@jarrod I was never a fan of having a bucket list either. I love your idea. 😎

The highlight of my day was learning about Napoleon from my well schooled friend. History was never a strong subject for me so when I acknowledged that I didn’t know much about Napoleon she filled me in. So, I’m basically happy to learn something new and take advantage of my educated friend. Of course this... poetalegre.micro.blog

Long ago I did a course that included a fast paced run, full tilt boogie. At the finish line the theme song to Rocky played. I loved that. My theme for 2024 will be completion, fulfillment and doing what I say I will do.

@JMaxB Thanx for the clarification. Just a note, I stopped watching cartoons when Speed Racer came to town. I googled Mr Wizard; seems I missed out.

Yesterday I made an abrupt movement near my screen door and a bird in the hedge took flight; spooked. This morning I found what was left behind.

@cygnoir Oh my, what a wonderful perspective. My thing is a daily swim and is sometimes put aside to fit people in. The truth is, it is the thing that keeps me sane.

@ReaderJohn Costa Alegre, Jalisco, Mexico. Tenacatita beach is wonderful; often calm for swimming and great for walking😎

There’s an outdoor music venue next door to my apartment. I’m listening to a brass band and playing chess online. Life is good😎

All of my files are a mess. I used to be very organized and then I turned on iCloud Drive. It shouldn’t be confusing but it became that way. I need to clean things up a bit. 😬

@tiff Recently I watched the movie White Noise. I had to break it into 3 segments; so much dialog. Usually I watch a film to the end.

This is the corner close to my home. It is a hub in our little town offering tacos, local pharmacy needs and a doctor, as well as being the main bus stop here. Always something going on and friends to say hi … or adiós.

I decided to learn a little bit about Kwanzaa and discovered that my new calendar book starts on December 26. How perfect. In the meantime, Merry Christmas everyone. 😎

You have to give credit to anyone who would wear this holiday hat. He says that it was a gift and he will wear it until Christmas.

@whoatowow Thanx for the link. Architecture is art and it’s great to see the results of hard work in restoration. Having grown up in SF California I am quite fond of Victorians and old wood houses. 😎

@JMaxB There was a local parade for the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe so children were dressed up. Some folks in town wear clothing from their regions; it’s a mixed bag.
