A visit to my cardiologist this morning to review the results from my recent nuclear stress test proved a great relief.  Although I have an EKG pattern that is indicative of coronary artery disease, the nuclear test revealed that my high stress arterial circulation is the same as my resting circulation indicating no constrictions.  My cholesterol numbers are higher than they should be and I will need to make some dietary adjustments to bring them down.

In other news related to stress reduction, I have stepped down as the head of engineering and operations at Markforged and will now serve as a management consultant to the company.  My boss and I enjoy the most productive conversations when we are not arguing about schedules.  Less stress for both of us and an amicable outcome all around.

I leave for Thailand early tomorrow morning with a light and happy heart.  I will try to post updates from the road (perhaps temporarily without photos) but it could also be a few weeks before I can catch up.

Why the picture of a horse?  It just makes me smile and I have much to smile about today.
