First camping trip of the year (sort of)
Vivian and I did a quick one-night sort-of camping trip to kick off our 2026 camping campaign. I say sort of because we stayed in a campground cabin, so it was really easy (and awesome), and no tent setup was required, but I’m still counting it as camping! We stayed at Raven Rock State Park…

A few words can be much better than none
I tend to err on the side of avoiding small talk with people that I run into. With some minor exceptions, I would go even further and say that I’m often antisocial around those new to me. It’s probably mostly to my detriment and something that I’ve been wondering about a lot recently. Maybe that’s…

Above the clouds
“Above the clouds” is the best Gang Starr song ever. I dare you to name a better one. I’ve been listening to some playlists while training for the ATT Marathon (coming up this weekend!) and this track came on. It was levitating. I looked for a video and I don’t think one was ever made…
