Home

Trees are in, storm drains are cleaned; we’re ready to pass our last two inspections to finally get a permanent certificate of occupancy (though we’ve been living here for months).

Family

No sooner had the girl earned her license than we sent her out the door to lessons and rehearsals. Bye! No more chauffeuring at all hours. Lots of dancing, lots of performances. The girl has a plan, and it seems like she’s putting it into action.

Work

After leaving Belkin for Concentric Sky, Concentric Sky for Cayuse, then getting laid off about year later, I quickly landed at Invoca; it is getting close to two years in and fun so far. The core task is steering an inward-looking (and engineering-dominant) culture and a powerful but fragmentary product toward actual customer-centricity.

Body

After accidentally pulling a 400lb deadlift twice a while back, and 410 just the other day, I’m doing it on the reg, so my interim goal of 450 is near enough to be enticing. That or I should lose 25lbs to get to pulling 2x bodyweight. (Hint: that’s the right answer – lose the spare tire.) So I’ve started logging my food. There’s not much more boring than being told about someone’s diet or exercise program, save maybe their dreams, so I’ll stop there.
