10 Good Things

08 May, 2026

Folklórico Dancers, Celina TX.

1. I walked and lifted weights today.
2. I was able to help my kid with her car payment.
3. I pan-fried gyro meat for the first time, and it was delicious. I also learned that gyros (γύρος) shares its root with gyroscope — both from the Greek for "turn," because the meat rotates on a vertical spit.
4. I got a good shot of dancers at a Cinco de Mayo festival.
5. I made a little more progress on Bach's Minuet in G.
6. I resisted the urge to buy new camera gear for an upcoming trip.
7. I haven't been on Facebook all year.
8. Instead of upgrading my iPad, I wiped it clean and turned it into a dedicated eReader — everything else disabled.
9. I'm not freaked out about turning 60.
10. It turned Friday while I was writing this.
