Hello world!

Phrases that start with the letter “X” are few and far between so this week’s is a bit of a stretch. These are the first weeknotes I’ve written completely without power.

🔖 My Favorite Stuff from the Internet This Week

• Revenge of The Business Idiot
• Screen Walks
• Leaving my garden for a week
  • This resonated with me for a few reasons including I’ll be away from my garden for a little while later this summer.

🌱 Gardening

I transplanted seedlings into large containers to grow out the summer and continued cleaning up and storing the gear I use to grow seeds. I am sharing space with robins and cardinals raising fledglings.

I am starting to explore the data I have about all the seeds I planted after the flood.

🐾 Movement

• Time Split: Foot 100% ████████████████████ Bike 0%
• Distance Split: Foot 100% ████████████████████ Bike 0%

I spent a lot of time in the garden this week. My dedicated exercise time was heavily focused on this ten mile walk and a fairly intense physical therapy session.

• Saturday: Up, up and away! | ⛰️ 1000ft+ 🐾

🥾 I had a lot of fun climbing the steep streets between downtown Pittsburgh and Duquesne University on Saturday morning.

🍿 Movies

I watched two more movies this week!

This week, I saw:

• Disclosure Day, 2026 (Watched: 2026-06-11)
• Pillion, 2025 (Watched: 2026-06-09)

I am well on track for my goal. While I wrote the goal as “at least 26 movies”, I had started thinking about it as “exactly” 26 movies. I am excited enough about movies this year that I might want to watch more than 26 films!
