My dad and I went down to Kansas City for some, what we hoped to be, warm April baseball. Mother Nature had different ideas and we had 30-degree baseball. But we had baseball! Not pictured is the fact that my dad was super food-poisoned for most of the long weekend. He enjoys telling the story.

We had just gotten married and strangely decided to catch a sunrise. I remember we rented a Grand Am and thought it was the fanciest car we’d ever seen. #extrafancy

In our younger days we would visit large cities. Sometimes we’d have family there to show us around. It was lovely. #jessespregnant

One time long ago we even tried to camp. I don’t know if I’d choose that over quarantine.

About 20 years ago we went on a trip. That was nice. I enjoyed that.

These tandoori barbecue chips for Aldi are really good, but methinks they take themselves a bit too seriously.

A friend texted me last weekend mentioning his temptation to go to his home office and do some more work. He said he needed some work-from-home tips. I figured with 13 years of working from home under my belt, it’d probably be a good idea to write down some of my own experience and suggestions. Click through to my [old] blog if you’d like to read them. And I hope you’™re well!

Happy birthday, Jesse! I wrote all the mushy, personal stuff in the card I gave you. I think this is a nice picture as long as people don’t notice my sweaty hat.

Jesse’s taking me to a concert for which I bought tickets for a year ago for my birthday. She can almost pronounce his name and might know the band he once led. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE FUN!!

Meaningful baseball on August is a gift, but this is about the most exciting thing we’ve seen so far in the 3 games in a row that we’ve attended.
