Enough
The past two days have been “Prime Day” aka Amazon’s biggest sale of the year. 24.1 billion (with a b) dollars were spent in the past 48 hours as people rushed to get their hands on whatever. I was temped to look, but not enough to pull the trigger. After No Spend Septemb, I don’t…

Date night
A really wonderful evening was had. Simple, elegegant. Fun. We simply went to ramen, had a tasty bowl, and shared a stunning fish collar cooked in a Korean sauce. The highlight was being able to take the time to connect with one another, during a busy week, within a busy time of our lives.

DenHac
I recently joined DenHac, the US’ third oldest “HackerSpace”. Sometimes called MakerSpaces, these are shared workshops were people can do woodwork, auto repair, fix electronics, code, solder, weld, and more, all in the company of like-minded creators. I thought it was super cool. One of my goals in the next little while is to get…

Blind
I lost my contact lenses today. Dropped it on the floor and couldn’t find it for the life of me. They were my last pair. Luckily I have glasses, but it’s been the first time in probably 20 years where I have been wearing glasses consistently. Plus draconian laws mean I can’t just order more…

First Steps
Today was the day! After weeks of standing, crab walking along walls, and wild bear crawls, our darling daughter took her first steps. They’re small, rare, and uncertain. But it’s the start of something wonderful. I wonder where her steps will take her.

1st birthday
It’s Occi’s first birthday party (we still have a week or so until she turns 1), and it should be a great day. Our theme is Paris, and we have the ham and cheese croissants, macrons, berets, baguettes, and flags all lined up at the park. Our guests arrive in a little under an hour,…

Zimmer
Two nights ago we went to The World of Hans Zimmer, which was a real treat, and very affordable! Hans Zimmer is like Michael Schumacher, Tiger Woods, or Pablo Picasso; people so famous within their domain that even if you couldn’t name a single other practitioner, you could name them. The cool thing about Hans…

Park time
I was going to write about our date night last night w Herr Zimmer, but it’s late and I want to do it justice. Instead, I thought the highlight of today was going to the park with Occi, and seeing her enjoy the playset. She is getting so, so much more confident and capable. It’s…

Zimmer
Ky and I are off on date night. After a recommendation from a friend, and a bit of luck, we are off to see Hans Zimmer at Ball Arena. I’m looking forward to it!

Surprised!
We had friends round tonight for a surprise party. They recently got engaged, and Ky and I are thrilled for them. Sadly, we couldn’t make it to their Boston engagement party, but now that they’re back in the centennial state, we wanted to do something to celebrate. It was the perfect example of casual dinner…
