Sans Chalk

After reading some article and noticing the trend in the gym, I decided to be like the cool kids and try climbing without chalk. The result is not at all what I expected. For the most part I don’t miss it. I thought my hands without chalk would be all sweaty and slippery, but that […]

Two Boots

Abigail had this habit of getting up after going to bed – repeatedly – until we went to bed. You’d put her down, say good night, close the door, then five minutes later she’d come out and see what was going on. Put her back, then fifteen minutes later there’d she be. You could yell […]

New Job

You may have noticed a significant drop in posting over the last 5 months or so. There’s an easy explanation for it. I got a new job. Same company, but new role. Now I’m the Product Owner. It’s a lot like what I did at my last job/company (4 years ago), but this is a […]
