01-04-2024 Swim

Went for an early morning hour-long walk, then headed over to the WWC for my longer swim of the week.  Followed the standard protocol for the first 80 lengths and then repeated the first 40 length protocol again to get to 3000 yds, finishing in about 1:04.  My arms were tired at the end, and on the following day I noticed that my legs were also a little tired, which was somewhat surprising.  A quiet day in the early afternoon, then I headed over to Miguel's Cocina for an Indigo researcher get-together.  As far as I remember, here are the people who showed up: Julio Lopez (he's looking for a new job, got laid off from D&K in December and also told me that Paul Templin is looking for another job), Dave Sabo (he's been to Havasupai Falls a couple of times, most recently in 2019), Minedys (she's still working for Calloway, seems to be liking it, went in the fall to New Zealand with her boyfriend, where the weather was rainy much of the time), John Godden (Thomas is doing well in Austin, involved in robotics work and planning to buy some commercial e-scooters in an upcoming auction), Evgeny Korol (still at Illumina, he doesn't appear too worried about recent company turmoil, Beni is now working for SpaceX in the LA area), Kyle and Dan (both doing well, we talked some Knicks basketball), Mark Choy (still as Dexcom, seems relatively safe there in his operations section manager role, David is an aviation planner specializing in helicopter landing spot design and Nathan is going to Palomar and working part-time), Fereshteh (doing well, joked with me about not having to do the budget this year), Hongwei (all are well, Audrey is home from college and goes back fairly soon, Hongwei is going to China to see her parents around Chinese New Year), Avinoam (we didn't talk too much, although I will try to ride with him over lunch on Tuesday), Andre Garcia, Guangjin (both boys are now out of school, Johnson is going to work as a business analyst at CapitalOne in DC, and Zhongyi is working locally and living at home to save money), and Pedro (doing well, always fun to be around, although we didn't get much time to talk).
