I stepped away from the news for a few days not expecting to return to stories of Elon and Don fighting.

What a delightful turn of events.

I use Photoshop and Lightroom frequently. Edited this photo I took of my son and made it cartoonish. I think it’s cool. He didn’t like it. He was brave to be honest to his mother. I wanted him to be. I was proud of how well he told me he didn’t like it.

In Oct 2023, I took the plunge into scuba diving for the first time on stunning Kwajalein Island in the heart of Kwajalein Atoll. I had the chance to dive with my son, who calls Kwajalein home, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to dive into underwater exploration.

I can’t do politics right now. But I can still talk about cats.
