I'm probably talking shit, getting up in my feelings, reading, writing, looking at trees, drinking whiskey, dancing, taking long walks, or doing obsessive research.

    🥾 today’s hiking church — couple of inches of snow made it so pretty.

    R (16yo): Mom lemme hook you up with some sick pants. Try these on.

    Lately my youngest has expressed an interest in religion, which is fine. But I gotta say it’s a little weird when she brings home church info from a friend. I’ve talked to the Mom of this friend before and I think there’s a bit of (attempted) proselytizing in play. I don’t mind at all if my kiddo wants to go to church with a friend but it’s funny/weird to be in this position, being a recipient of “outreach” from the religion I grew up in.

    From the last few hikes 🥾

    Great finds from favorite authors at my last used bookstore visit.

    🥾Haven’t posted photos from hikes lately, but they’re ongoing. I really enjoy cold weather hikes.

    Beautiful hike along the river yesterday 🥾

    Tree branches and blue sky over a winding path by the river Sun floating in a blue sky over the river with a sandy strip of beach in the foreground Looking up at tall trees and bare branches towering overhead against a deep blue sky

    Also Zeke did great. He won 3/5 matches but most importantly worked hard to be ready, did his best, and had a great attitude.

    Nice when a one-hour wait between kid drop off and pickup is near a decent tap house

    Do you ever think: “Nothing matters” or “I’m doing it all wrong” or “What’s the point?” Sometimes I think that too.
    Then I go outside.

    The kids' bus was very late today, so I had to cut my run short & drive them to school. Since I was in the car & near the park, I stopped for a quick loop through the trails and got to enjoy these views (just as this song was playing). Sometimes what you get is better than what you planned.

    Such a beautiful day for #hikingchurch. The colors are lighting up.

    I love @effinbirds every day but especially on days like today when I had a particularly infuriating conversation.

    Got to give an ultrasound to a sheep (she’s having twins!) at the State Tech open house. My oldest is planning to attend here next year to learn welding.

    A good afternoon
