“What is This” Cedar Park, 2026
A strangely shaped thing was resting next to me this morning. Very odd… or at least it was, until it started purring.
What Even is This?

My Ukulele

Just a photo of my beloved ʻOli ukulele. Simple, beautiful, and an absolute joy to play. Every time I pick it up, it makes me smile.
Thai Curry
“Thai Chicken Curry” Cedar Park, 2026
The temperatures in Texas are dropping fast, so a hot and spicy bowl of Thai curry feels extra satisfying right now. It is the perfect way to warm up from the inside out. Spicy, comforting, and exactly what the day called for.
A Day in the Office
“Water Bottle” Austin, 2026
I went into the office today. Thursdays are our in-office day, and I also picked up my new work laptop while I was there. I am upgrading from my trusty Dell, which I actually really liked, to a new Microsoft Surface. It is slick, fast, and feels very modern. So far, so good. Re-logging into every single website is a bit of a chore, but that is just part of the new-computer initiation ritual, I guess.
I also brought in a water bottle. Mariko was about to donate her King Arthur water bottle to Goodwill, but I rescued it and decided it will live at work instead. It is a great bottle, and I am happy it has a second life.
Thursdays also mean free lunch at work. Today was a “power bowl” day, where you build your own salad. I went heavy on the salmon, and it was pretty good. Not mind-blowing, but certainly nothing to complain about. Plus, I will always appreciate having a healthy option waiting for me.

Little Buc-ee

I borrowed my son’s car today and was pleasantly surprised to find a little Buc-ee sitting in the cup holder.
It made me smile right away.
