Sorry for the radio silence. I’ve been busy and buried under a lot of things. Is
that why I haven’t blogged as consistently as I would like?

No.

I tend to want to pick the perfect topic or wait until I produce a video to upload
before publishing a blog. Consequently, my need for the ideal conditions to post
a blog has often presented a barrier to consistent production. Frequently, a few
weeks go by.

The title of this post comes from a podcast that I recently watched. Scott Alexander
asked for blogging tips and simply said, “_Just write every day,” _or something 
similar.

See the video below at the 2:36:06 mark.

I’m not sure I have the bandwidth to “write every day,” but Alexander seems to advocate
writing whenever a topic pops into my mind, so maybe I’ll give that a try!

I expect spontaneous posts to be shorter and more to the point. We’ll see.

Stay tuned!

## Update On My Right Shoulder

The tendonitis is still present but improving. It’s taking an awful long time, though.
The tendonitis first appeared last fall and worsened until I started physiotherapy
in January. While I have been released from physiotherapy, I am still doing the 
shoulder rehab exercises several times a week. I have no idea when it will disappear.
We’ll see.

In any case, my private lessons are proceeding nicely. For the first few months 
this year, I trained heavily with my left hand to give my right shoulder time to
heal. I have amped up my right-hand training over the past month. I am pleased to
report that this has not resulted in flare-ups of the tendonitis issue.

In addition, I have resumed push-ups and have been super-incremental in my progression.
The focus is definitely going to be on quality over quantity. I am using the following
push-up program.

I am currently up to 20 standard push-ups. Like I said, I’m taking my time here.
Knock on wood, I have not experienced any increase in tendonitis pain. All that 
said, I am starting from scratch and am not as strong as I was in September 2024,
when I turned 60.

## Lastly, are there any topics you want to see in future blog posts?

Let me know!
