Currently eating Chick-fil-A on a picnic blanket in the parking lot of a Barnes & Noble. I love Saturdays.

I recently started a tradition of working from a different coffee shop each Friday. Today’s Pumpkin Pie Latte was a nice complement to deep work ☕

I replaced all the X-Large t-shirts in my closet with Large. I am surprised just how much better I’ve felt wearing clothes that fit right. I tried different options and ended up ordering 7 colors of the Next Level N6210. They’re cheap as dirt with an “athletic dad-bod” fit.

Moon, silent, alone.
“Arise, abyss!” she commands.

I like when a bathroom has beautiful or insightful decor. I learned something new today about a train that debuted in 1936. Why did trains look so much cooler back then?

An issue of The Observer from July, 1936 titled "Mercury, New N.Y.C. Streamliner, on Detroit-Cleveland Run"

Our cucumbers are out of control. In one day we harvested six cucumbers, each bigger than my forearm. The situation is so dire that I’m having tajín-seasoned cukes with coffee for breakfast. 🥒☕

Sharing a gelato flight is a great way to cap off the evening.

“Children need to be used under adult supervision”

This made me laugh.

A while back I posted about Fed Meetup, the app I built that won an internal NASA challenge. Today I received my prize, a NASA@WORK sticker that flew on a SpaceX Dragon capsule that splashed down back in April! I have now committed myself to using this water bottle for life… 😅
