“Hello” Cedar Park, 2025
Here’s my Fujifilm X-E4 pulling double duty as a webcam. It looks fantastic and handles the job like a pro!

Dinner tonight was Chicken Tikka Masala, straight from Costco. Super tasty, though I kept wishing for more sauce to soak up with rice. I tossed in some hard-boiled eggs for a little more protein. Not pictured is the bowl of sautéed spinach we had to cover our veggie quota. Best part? It’s one of those easy dinners that the kids happily eat. Win!
I’ve always loved saltines, but the Saltidas I tried in CDMX took things to a whole new level. Paired with shrimp and octopus cocktails, they were pure magic. Fast forward to Texas, where I spotted Gamesa Saladitas at a Mexican market and pounced on them like treasure. A couple of hours later, half the box was gone. I might need an intervention, because these things are way too good!
This afternoon I hopped on my Brompton for a little ride. It’s been two and a half years since I bought my C-Line, and I’m still completely in love with it. Riding this bike just feels different in the best way. Compared to a “regular” bike, it’s compact, nimble, and easy to hop on and off. Honestly, it reminds me of the difference between a scooter (or step-thru motorbike) and a motorcycle. Both are fun, but the smaller one has this playful, almost magical charm that always makes me smile.
We stuck to one of our usual trails, but took a short detour to check out the disc golf course. In the photo above, you can just barely spot the basket in the distance. Here’s a closer look:
Anyways, it was a really fun ride with my beloved Piplup!
