Back in ALX after a whirlwind trip across Nepal for my brother's wedding. Tough returning to reality after a fever dream of temples, giant mountains, bazaars, momos, and wild elephants and rhinos out the window.
Bring on ski season!

I studied banjo for several years with Steve Attix, the owner of the Del Ray School of Music on Mt. Vernon. Was gutted to learn that Steve is currently battling cancer and that they're struggling to keep the business afloat.
Bummed that I'm out of town for this benefit, but hope others can attend

Put this map together showing where YIMBY-endorsed candidates (mayor+council) got the highest proportion of the vote. No big surprises, but some interesting patterns.

Checked out the new Pier Bar at the waterfront after voting with @vebush.bsky.social. Cool spot to grab a drink literally on the river
Pro-tip: go on a calm day. It's a floating pier and even these veteran sailors were seasick after 10 minutes.

Any displaced Midwesterners out there know a good place to watch the Lions and/or Packers tomorrow? I've given up trying to figure out how to watch at home

Bailed on my own NYE party for a good 45 minutes to drop in on the Bsky party. Got to sing 2 pop-punk songs from the early aughts, finally meet a bunch of fellow skeeters and YIMBYs, and even saw the Jet's Man. This definitely needs to be a regular thing. Thanks Becky and Joe!

Just got a message from my mom (a resident of Elk Rapids, Michigan) asking why someone reached out to her to take a survey about a new zoning policy in Alexandria. She does not and has not ever lived in Alexandria.

Apparently CLA's strategy to avoid a repeat of the Will Shen incident was to react angrily to any question as an "inquisition"
