Oh, goodness, I've seen another video about this guy but had totally forgotten about it! Maybe it was the same one, but it was on Aeon. I remember listening to him talk about the vestibular pleasure of skating, and was so excited because it was right when I first started learning about the vestibular system. So cool -- thanks!

"It’s good to be reminded of why you loved something to begin with."

I need more of this energy in my life. I'm definitely going to pick this book up. Thanks, Nia.

I think you'll enjoy it. I really got swept into it--she's a lovely writer--and for some reason it made me feel like I really need to try out those sandals you like.

I definitely needed the reminder. I keep trying to write about walking and the science and all sorts of things but keep running into a "why bother, haven't I said everything?" wall.

I haven't walked as much as I'd like this summer on account of smoke.

I keep forgetting that's why I've barely hiked this summer.
