 “Kiki at Night” Cedar Park, 2026

We’ve been getting some surprisingly warm days here in Texas to kick off the year, so I’ve been taking full advantage with a few evening rides with Kiki. Night rides are such a blast, cooler air, quiet roads, and that calm, end-of-day feeling. Of course, they come with a few extra hazards. Deer love to appear out of nowhere, and cars are always the wildcard. If only everyone rode motorcycles, right?

Here’s a short clip from one of our night rides. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

 “Costco” Cedar Park, 2026

I stopped by Costco this evening and took my time wandering the aisles. There’s something really satisfying about shopping with no rush at all. Do you ever notice how much more enjoyable Costco is when you are not on a mission? I loved every minute of it.

Ramyun was on my list, and I was really hoping they still had the K-POP Demon Hunters packaging. After a bit of searching, I finally spotted the instant noodles with that cool design, though the stock was clearly running low. Whew. Crisis officially averted!

 “Clouds to the East” Cedar Park, 2026

On today’s run, I couldn’t help but notice the cool, rippled pattern of these altocumulus clouds overhead. I stopped to snap the photo above, totally taken in by how textured and almost endless the sky looked.

Then I turned around and saw a dramatically different sky in the opposite direction. Same run, same moment, completely different feeling. How cool is that? Have you ever noticed how the sky can feel like two different worlds just by turning around?

 “Day 1” Cedar Park, 2026

January finally started so I have officially begun my first Hobonichi Techo. As you may know, I went with the original A6 size because it is so compact. But maybe I should have gone with the A5 cousin since I naturally write kind of large. Oh well. I’ll give the smaller format a go!

I also bought a Canon SEPLHY CP1500 printer, which is really fun to use. I’m looking forward to see how my journal turns out.
