Happenings

• My passport is expiring in 2025, so I went to a studio and took a new passport photo. The photographer said I'm very dimply. Small smiles are hard. I renewed my passport online right after (so convenient).

• Finally shipped out our holiday gifts to friends & family in Europe. We really need to remember to grab those customs forms in advance to fill them out at home next time.

• Spent half the week at an oceanfront resort for a work event. Got back this afternoon — so tired. I wasn't originally going to be there, but everything worked out.

• I enjoyed the Rishi tea at the hotel. I surreptitiously brought back ~50 sachets.¹

• I've been seeing super shiny iridescent cars. I like them.

• Tub spout, where art thou? No updates from American Standard. Our Ferguson rep now also questions its existence. She suggested we select another design.

Watching

• Started A.P. Bio, but decided to stop — love the premise, but not the format.

Tinkering

• Running Mattermost on PikaPods. We've been on it for a few days. The experience so far has been pretty decent. V is adding our custom emojis now & we just need to figure out a couple other settings.
