Stayed up way too late watching the Penguins 1st game of the qualifiers. 🏒

It’s been great having the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo open as an activity for the kids again. We’ve been utilizing the members only hours and have felt safe being both outdoors and reasonably distanced from others.
This Micro Monday, I recommend @adamprime and his insightful post about the experience that changed his attitude about mask wearing when he lived in Taiwan.
Last month I realized both of my primary domains no longer reflected what I / we actually did on a day-to-day basis. I refreshed the homepages for both Grid & Arrow and my freelance practice.
I’ve been thinking about places I used to call home a lot recently. In the age of social distancing, I’ve certainly been missing the rural mountains of Pennsylvania. Grenada hasn’t had a single death from COVID-19. The Times profiled our neighborhood in Brooklyn last weekend and focused on a block I walked down often. It was tough to read.
Most days parenthood washes waves of self-doubt over me but currently my two-year old is obsessed with the new The Lone Bellow album so I must be doing something right.
I love this very real life photo Allison Francois captured of us!
Me in October: It’s in the 50s, I’ll put a coat on.
Me in January: It’s in the 30s but it’s barely going to snow today, taking a coat on and off is way too much effort.
So many great things happening in Fort Wayne right now! Stefanie and I finally got to tour the Electric Works campus yesterday. We can’t wait to see this come to life over the next few years just 2 miles from our house.
Has anyone developed a solution to render WordPress galleries without the list item bullets in the feed on Micro.blog?
Participated in my 1st design thinking workshop since my days at Art Center this week during a Startup Week Fort Wayne session. The topic was Vision 2030 and how we can attract people to Northeast Indiana.
Between the bug zapper our neighbors installed, all the lavender and citronella we planted, and the bats living in both our attics the mosquito population in our little corner of Indiana is quite low this summer.
Busy day yesterday but I managed to sneak over to the Fort Wayne Museum of Art to see three exhibits that are set to close this weekend.
Dense Discovery is by far my favorite newsletter. I always discover something great in every issue.
My parents are in town this weekend so we’ve got a weekend of Fort Wayne planned — the zoo, the farmer’s market and a Tincaps game with fireworks!
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 đź—ş
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.
