Continued studying Portuguese! Every morning a little more!

\n\"\"
\nI decide to see just how much was left in the DuoLingo language tree.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

To my surprise, if I continue on my current pace, I will finish Portuguese in 37 days! Wow!<\/p>\n

Since I will be going to the UK in just thirty days, I will probably try and accelerate my pace slightly. Maybe three lessons a day rather than two.<\/p>\n

Recorded a new podcast! LOVE this edition called “PurifI!”<\/p>\n

I spoke to my friend Amit in the UK right before I recorded it. I was pretty pent up after our conversation. He’s having some stress with his parents. Pretty familiar story. Still made me sad.<\/p>\n

Then to the pharmacy to pick up meds for Jesse.\"\"
\nWent to Walmart to do the grocery shopping. Mainly went to pick up a new battery for Kathy’s blood sugar machine.\"\"
\nSeems like mainly fruit, salad and cereal. Pretty much all I eat.
\n\"\"
\nWent by my treasurer Jon Paul’s house to turn in the financial report that Ashley does.\"\"
\nJon came to my house right before I went for a bike ride. GREAT to talk with him.<\/p>\n

Spent a couple of hours working on my Patreon page. Patreon is a program where people can sponsor you to receive your work. I will be doing special editions of Verbal Surgery including short videos and some coaching for a fee every month.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\nI still need to decide how much to charge and finish a couple of sections of the site.
\nAt this point in my life, I need to monetize everything I do to some degree. I love what I do, might as well get paid for it. Today I record what will be episode -497-. Incredible.<\/p>\n

Over 50 countries have downloaded my podcasts.<\/p>\n

Top countries? USA, China, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Russia, Ireland, France, Spain, Iran, New Zealand, Poland, Sweden, S. Africa, Taiwan, India, Israel and Brazil!<\/p>\n

Talked with my insurance man about health insurance for 2018. My policy will end after this year since BCBS will no longer offer ACA programs in GA.\"\"<\/p>\n

Went for a 15.44 mile bike ride.\"\"
\nFelt good.<\/p>\n

Been watching Jack Whitehall and Travels with My Father on Netflix. Pretty funny.<\/p>\n

Admin duties now.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to a team tomorrow in Clarkston! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
