Goodbye Minneapolis. It was fun to be temporarily Minnesotan. Lovely place with lovely people. Next stop: Huntington Beach for a month. 🏝️

Advantages of having a similarly named manager: easy meeting invites

Google Calendar invite with the the meeting title "Br{i,y}an"

That's going to be a super fun episode.

Made it out to camp a little bit at Orcas Island this weekend. Absolutely gorgeous. Definitely would love to go back.

Getting some kid-free time in Napa Valley with Pat Higgins and Dylan Hulser. Anyone got spare invites for my friends?

Probably the end of my season snowboarding. First season back in some years but happy to pick back up the habit. Nabbed a new snowboard too and looking forward to next season. (This was about 1/3 of the days I went. I started using Slopes partway through the season)
