More to Life
2024 has been a year of fun and reflection. After the hellscape that was 2023 for me, I’ve been actively seeking our joy and fulfillment and meaning to my life outside of work. And in this process I can’t help but be struck by how simple that ought to be, but challenging nonetheless. I think… Continue reading

This Week: Hope!
Happy Monday! I am feeling pretty good today. I had a fun weekend, got plenty of sleep, and am feeling hopeful about the state of the world for the first time in a while. Last week was very busy with work so I was pleased to realize I didn’t have too much going on this… Continue reading

This Week: Not Enough Sleep
Y’all I am sleepy. After a lot of fun and travel over the last few weeks, I want to stay in bed for 12 hours straight. I keep telling myself I am going to get up early and go to the gym before work, but that has simply not been the case. Nonetheless, life is… Continue reading

This Week: It’s Hot Out

I am a big fan of reading relatively short-form blog-style posts. Somehow it is more interesting (and often inspirational) to me than watching a… Continue reading

Values-Based (Time) Spending
The other morning Patrick and I went to the climbing gym before work. I actually woke up just before my 5:30 am alarm and was pleasantly surprised when I didn’t immediately fall back asleep. I can’t tell you how many times Patrick and I have discussed going to the climbing gym in the AM, only… Continue reading

Turkey Burger Attempt #2 – To the Griddle
Howdy! How’s the weather where you are? Here in NoVA it is hot hot hot and I love it. I am coming to you (late) with another turkey burger attempt! Two weekends ago I decided to give it another shot. The weather was sort of cool and gray, so I decided to forgo the grill… Continue reading

Tailgating: A Photo Series
There is nothing I love more on earth than a beautiful trail run followed by tailgating like bums at the trailhead. The best days for tailgating are when it’s sunny and warm, but not too hot. Although, tailgating is appropriate year round. You’ve just got to change up what kind of snacks you’re packing! For… Continue reading
