Say Goodbye To Back Pain
I did my back exercises earlier today and I feel better already. I’ve struggled with lower back pain periodically for over 30 years — as do many tall, heavy men, especially those who get out of shape, have sedentary and/or stressful lifestyles. Happily, though, I didn’t get surgery. Instead I discovered a “program” which has…

How Best To Learn
I’m a big fan of Nicky Case’s work.

(I’ll post those notes onto Nodal Partners when they are ready.) I walked over to South Park for coffee with David…
