1,000 SUBS!
9/1 – Got a little notification this morning… a thousand subscribers!
This took five years, so wherever this is going, it’s getting there slowly. Thankfully, I enjoy my day job.
But the fact that there are at least a thousand people out there, give or take the bots, who saw a video on happiness in Finland, mud-wrestling in Kolkata, running culture in Kenya, or mezcal in Oaxaca and thought… yeah, sign me up for more of that! That makes me smile.
I’m thankful I get to go on these adventures, and my hope is that by hitting record, I can play some part in helping people appreciate that our world runs deep with stories and to choose curiosity.
9/6 – Bananaball!
Never thought I’d be at a game with my kids watching Trevor Hoffman get a save, but here we are.
Fun outing to see the Savannah Bananas, mostly from the stadium play structures at Petco Park.
9/15 – Took my oldest on the Clue Walking Mystery that UCSD is hosting. Great idea!
Basically an escape room meets a murder mystery party, then spread across a whole college campus.
🕵️
Took a good amount of walking, and the commitment to the theme was strong. It was probably my ideal level of difficulty -a little bit tough- but it can be a bit easier if you remember how to play the board game or if you give yourself more time.
9/14 – Decorating for spooky season may seem a bit premature on September 14, but my kids and I raided a Spirit Halloween closing sale last November and they’ve been waiting to inflate the rat ever since.
RED OCTOBER
LA-Philly’s gonna be a good matchup.
Phils have been pretty good at Shohei containment in previous encounters, but the LA lineup has few week points. If the lineup can run up pitch counts early then scrap together enough late inning rallies against the bullpen, the lock screen can survive into next week.
10/9 – I’ve met so many people… and Deanna is my favorite one!
She’s thoughtful, caring, kind, and funny. She challenges me to be better, helps people through their tough moments, and makes you live a little more deeply. And also… it happens to be her birthday!
So happy to have spent the past decade plus with ya.
