Year in Review: 2022
I hope this finds you and yours enjoying the fresh start of a new year. As I browse the photos on my phone to jog my memory, it always surprises me how much I have already forgotten from the previous year. It makes me wish I had started these years earlier – capturing the context […]

1 Second Everyday: Age 31
Like last year but with more cat clips, trips, house projects, and mountain life.

I told myself that the only way I could take the Monday after my trip off was if I did the write-up that I wish existed for me before I embarked on this trip. This fulfills that promise. The best way to break it down is to go through the typical stages of a race […]

How I chose my college
I am in the midst of writing a post on why it’s a good idea to set rules for decisions in advance. It’s becoming apparent that I have done this a lot in my life without even realizing it in the moment, so I’m going to give these situations the depth they deserve and give […]
