• Another jalapeño update

    First crop is in, and I fried some up today and put the rest in the freezer to become jalapeño jam in the not-to-distant future. I fried up the most redish ones. Spicy and delicious!

    Running Topsail beach

    More travel running last week (my favorite kind). This time on Topsail Island beach. I can’t remember the last time I went on a run on a sandy beach. I got out multiple times this week, though, and always with a dip in the ocean after to cool off. Perfection.

  • Our company this week was this crew of awesome humans.

    World Cup lets goooooooooo!

  • Got a flat tire yesterday, and now I’m in the special hell that is the Costco cafe (can you call it that?) waiting for a tire repair. I’m a walk-in, so I was told it could be a “multi-hour” wait. They weren’t lying. I’m working along with a sad group of guys with backpacks and laptops like me intermixed with screaming kids and flabbergasted moms. I do like Costco, but I’d rather be somewhere else.

  • Bedroom mural

    Vivian and I got a summer project brewing to paint a mural on our bedroom wall.

    I’ve drawn some line art so we can paint/draw some different patterns and determine what to do.



    Currently one idea around flowers like this.

    And I did this tree theme concept today.

    Excited to work on this over the next couple months.
