Well, I’ve done the thing again where I don’t update for a long time, despite things happening in my life. I suppose, at this point, it’s the new normal.

life’s stats and photo journal have been updated, on time. My photos site continues to be neglected.

Since the last update, in no particular (and certainly not chronological) order:

• I had some friends visit and we had a nice time wandering the city
• My cousin visited and we had a nice time repeating the same city wandering
• I visited my mom in Phoenix for the first time since before the pandemic
• I ate indoors at restaurants more times than the previous 4 years combined
• I went to San Francisco for work, twice, once for the usual team planning and once as an “architect sync”
• Work became super AI and Agent-y, and generally exploded
• I bought an iPhone 16 Pro because I was worried about the possible impact of tariffs
• I was the sickest I’ve been since before the pandemic (and probably for years before that, even), and it wasn’t COVID (which I still haven’t had)
• I went on two ski trips and didn’t ski at all
• We had Adventures™ on the second of the trips with the rental car tires: one slowly leaked air, and another popped on the drive home
• I went to a wedding and an anniversary party, and went on vacation with Keith and his family
• I threw myself a Sonic-themed birthday party
• We lost power for 20 hours in the ~90 MPH wind mess of fun
• I continued to fail at accomplishing any goals or, arguably, anything really meaningful outside of my job

Maybe there will be more bullet points in another 7 months.
