Swede’s Photographs<p>Good morning. 🌅🚶‍♂️‍➡️🐕</p><p>9 June 2025</p><p>Charlie and I just got back from our Monday walk. We keep pushing it, though I hope I’m not overdoing it. Back in the day, fitness became an obsession for me, and I’ve learned that no single pursuit should take over—balance is key. It’s the same with what I’m doing now; I have to be able to step away from the keyboard. I wonder sometimes if obsession is just another form of addiction. I used to think I had a touch of OCD, but that’s clearly not the case anymore—one look at my office would prove that.
