How did you become ready to have kids? My wife and I have started to have more serious conversations about having kids and I feel paralyzed at the thought of making a decision one way or another.
I would have loved to see Impossible Creatures 2. I have a memory of my friend from middle school making the weirdest creatures we could think of one afternoon.
Really hope that Danny Ric of pre-McClaren shows up this weekend instead of his orange shell. I’m a Ferrari/LEC fan so this year has been pretty disappointing so far and I want some silver lining even if it’s not here.
I wanted to chime in and say that for my personal fitness routine, building the habit came before looking forward to it. It was much easier for me to start running or going to the gym 3 days a week. And then I did that for a long time, over multiple years with some falling off for changes in my routine such as going on vacation or not feeling it in the winter. However, once 3 days a week started becoming a habit, I experimented with squeezing in a 4th day. When the 4 days a week became normal, slipping back to 3 days a week felt so bad that I found myself with a new habit of 4 days a week.
I don't go to the gym anymore as I have switched over to running as my primary fitness activity, and I'm now to the point where anything less than my routine each week makes me feel "off" and so it is pretty easy to stick to it. I don't know if I would say I look forward to running everyday, but I do look forward to it most days and that wasn't always the case.
Having people around for motivation is really helpful too. My wife was an avid runner our entire relationship so having slowly gone from not a runner to running daily with her has been quite the journey. And now we have developed a larger community of runners who we run with different days each week and that has really helped with the motivation especially when the weather is not ideal.
Just anecdotally, my wife and I attended the Era's Tour and I think we both have interest seeing it in theaters, although her much more than me. I'd be happy to attend but it's also something I am willing to miss out on while when she heard the news this morning, she absolutely wanted to buy tickets for it.
To her, it's about reliving the experience especially since she would also be interested in attending the Eras tour again if it comes to a city near us. I think this is going to be pretty popular because it's a much more accessible way for people to attend who didn't get to originally. And even for those that were able to attend, it's a nice way to relive the experience.
If people were paying thousands of dollars to attend the concert (including me), I wouldn't even blink at paying a movie ticket price to experience it again.
