Today I got to join my WI SHPO colleagues for a tour of the USFS Forest Products Lab. I went on a separate tour with City of Madison building permitting staff in Nov. It was fascinating what different questions each cohort had. This institution is an absolute gem.

This is my grandmother's last Christmas. She made me this stocking 47 years ago and I've used it ever since. I love that I will have this as a reminder of her every Christmas. #FuckCancer

Yesterday at our Planning Division staff meeting, we did pictionary with a Madison theme where each card was a local place and activity. I'm proud that just this little bit of my drawing for an immediate correct answer: Statue of Liberty at Lake Mendota
