Daily Success for an elderly peregrino is symbolized by this statue

Daily Success July 19 – Outstanding. And by a wide margin.

Yesterday

Daily success yesterday included good physical therapy and exercise as well as getting my “My Camino Day 7/28 to 8/2 2021 – Washington to Madrid to Zumaia” post live. The combination was sufficient to blow past the Outstanding marker by a wide margin.

I saw Tara at Dr. Higgins’ office for an evaluation of my back yesterday. She was very thorough and had some suggestions, but no major breakthroughs.

Today

Daily success today should be easy enough. All that is needed is concentration. Hah!

Well, kinda, sorta. Today should, according to my spreadsheet, be leg strength exercises. It will not be, it will be icing the left knee day. The knee is responding to rest and ice, but it is clearly not a happy little knee. Injury points are on the agenda, even though I hate to take them.

The day will start on the slow side with Cliff’s kaffeeklatsch at the Empress’ place and will end early with our Anniversary Dinner one day late at Cinco with Bill and Paula. We are hoping that Marian can join us as well, but she has movers coming …

The Future

Daily success in the future is starting to make serious steps.

Tim has given me clear direction on how I can and cannot proceed. Jan and I are to meet this morning to discuss some of the realities of how that gets funded, what we will be concentrating on for the next couple years, how that affects GoVentures, what our goals and exit strategy are, and all that stuff. I have been reminded that Kam Ghaffarian is the guy behind Intuitive Machines and noticed yesterday that IM has a very small lunar rover … a la SurveyorBot.

All of which effort is going to be focused on September 1st because that is when our minds should be pretty well back from France.
