Made my 2,000th check in on Foursquare / Swarm this weekend. I don’t use the social aspect much, I just love having a log of all the amazing places I’ve been over the last 8 years.

Our favorite shot from Oval Beach last weekend ?

We’re halfway through the new season of Stranger Things and loving it! I have no idea how they’re going to resolve all of this in the next 4 episodes. ?

Like so many in Indiana, I was sad to hear about the passing of Senator Lugar last week. Working on the Kennedy-Lugar Yes Program’s website and meeting its facilitators was one of the highlights of my career. May you rest in peace Senator. You have left behind a wonderful legacy for your country.

Winston-Salem, NC ?

Road tripping with the dog to North Carolina. Stopped in Ohio for a short but intense hike in Scioto Trail State Forest. ? ?

Hello California! It’s good to be back. ?

Having a kid has definitely increased my post-4pm coffee consumption at the office. No more coming home from work and just crashing!

It sadly looks like it’s going to be a short playoff run for the Pens this year. Isles have completely outplayed us in every part of the game this series. ?

Traveling to southern Oregon / northern California this week for a family wedding. Planning on driving up to Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument on our free day Thursday. Anyone been and have any travel tips? ?

Making an extra cup of coffee this morning after staying up late last night shooing a bat out of our bedroom!

My poor boy is sick with a 40ºC fever today. It breaks my heart seeing him not himself.

Pure joy.

Tough week with the old house. The only steam radiator condensate line that went under our basement floor sprung a leak. Repair work around other super old piping caused subsequent leaks. Fortunately, everything is back in order now as temps have dropped below freezing again.

I love our old house and neighborhood (and being close to the center of the city) but this was an expensive week!

Congrats to everyone who matches at Geisinger today! We have the Res Aux website filled with homes to rent or buy in Danville.

Today I sent out a newsletter talking about everything I’ve been working on for the last 15 months.
