• Road my e- bike for half an hour, second day in a row. Soon it will be a streak!
• Switched to handwriting recognition on my Boox tablet. I find it much more stimulating to write things out and the recognition is amazingly accurate, even with my horrible handwriting.
• Canceled our Progressive auto insurance as we switched to State Farm last month. We assumed the policy would cancel on it’s own when we made the switch. Fortunately, Progressive will refund us for the last month.
