With the shutdown coming to a close and my travel restrictions lifted for now, we’re finally back to road trip planning. We’re using some expiring flight credits to explore this area in Georgia next month.
Any suggestions on stuff I should include on the itinerary?

On This Day in 2018, with the help of a dozen or so of my friends, my wife arranged for a special birthday message for me during an ASU game. What a fun surprise! We had a tailgating bday celebration too (and yes, the Sun Devils won this game, in spite of the stats at this moment in the game).

I made it down to Arizona Wilderness Brewing on RoRo for my birthday beer! A special 52oz stein pour—I chose Moving Buddies, a hazy IPA collab with Dark Sky Brewing in Flagstaff.

What’s been your favorite purchase so far in 2025?
I think mine has been this pen. It was a rare splurge, but I really enjoy using it and it’ll last forever. I forgot how nice it is to have a favorite pen (I bought it after purging several old “favorites” I’d kept since high school).

After seeing some friends discussing retirement destinations they were considering, I decided to write up how we approached that decision. It’s taken much longer to write that post, in part because we were due to update our Life Block Planning. Still hoping to get it published this week, though.

I hid a small bin with all my SSDs in it when we traveled last. It was a new hiding spot that I thought was much better than my old spot. I cannot, for the life of me, remember where the hell it was. Ain’t no burglar finding it—nor me apparently.

Killing off an old project today. RIP BetterAdventures.Club. Great memories—I still gets the feels. Started its predecessor (my first sole entrepreneurship) six years ago as a hedge on a mobile questing app I was working on with friends. Life intervened, of course, and I’ve since moved on.

If you’ve followed along on our window replacement that began back in July, we’re still waiting for a replacement one to be installed. Looks like the shutters may arrive even before it’s ready. Sigh…
