You are far too kind. Off for Wednesday hill repeats. Still a few spots left in parking lot with 2 minutes to spare!

I didn't know the Jacobi quote, Chris, but love it. Thanks for that. What are you scouting in the Gunks? Did everything shake out okay after flossing?

Munger discusses it in reference to investing and I once mentioned it related to games (https://seekingalpha.com/instablog/957061-chris-demuth-jr/2160102-man-muss-immer-umkehren-and-scrabble). He was a great mathematician albeit a funny looking dude. Saturday -- East Trapps Trailhead in Gardiner, NY, for a run to Millbrook Mountain, Gertrude’s Nose, and back. Looking to do a more organized run nearby in a few weeks. I want to stay at the Mohonk Mountain House (https://www.mohonk.com) where they're requiring a 3-day minimum during peak season. But I want to see if there's a last second opening that would allow me to just stay a night. It is pricey and not really worth three nights, but they might be flexible if there's an unexpected vacancy. Otherwise the price "jumps category" in the sense that it is $1k fun but not $10k and once it gets too high instead of competing with a nearby night away from kids which it can win at it starts to compete with Bali which it fails at. Flossing is one of the rare recovery gimmicks that really helps me. I worked out with a nephew over the weekend who is a gymnast and we were working on rings and muscleups etc. and I kinda yanked apart my upper body joints. Survivable but needed work.
