Went for an hour-long walk in the morning around the neighborhood, then headed over to the WWC for a swim, 2500 yds in 51 min. This was the fastest swim I think I have done, followed the standard protocol for the first 80 lengths, then did the last 20 lengths without snorkel or swim pads. I feel like I am making progress, slowly but surely, in the evenness of my strokes and my ability to keep a slightly higher pace than before.
Later in the morning, I rode my scooter over to the Poway Palomar Hospital for the volunteer onboarding. I met Diana Erazo, who gave me a tour of the hospital, which appears kinda small, probably <100 beds all told. They have closed down the birthing center, and the hospital seemed rather quiet while I was there. I'm going to start volunteering in the Emergency Department on Wednesday afternoons, once she is able to find a trainer who can bring me up to speed. Probably won't happen until sometime in January.
Finished Going Infinite, by Michael Lewis. His feelings about SBF are somewhat conflicted. I think he liked the guy and appreciated that he wasn't intentionally trying to take people's money, and he saw him as a genius in some ways. But SBF's immaturity and inability to play by others' rules just didn't work when it came to running a huge business like the combination of FTX and Alameda Research. Caroline Ellison comes across as somebody clearly unsuitable to lead any company, while the other business leaders were all young and naive, spending too much time assuming that SBF knew what he was doing. I also started Nemesis Games, the next book in The Expanse series.
