Biannual Notes?

This is the best I can do, I guess

  • Ah, yes. Continuing my trend of very infrequent updates, I see.
  • Some life updates: we bought a house in the suburbs. We (well, I) hated it. We sold that house. We bought a new house in Richmond and are much happier. I got a new job, back workin’ as a lowly individual contributor, and that also makes me much happier. Management ain’t for me, it turns out. New gig’s at Ride with GPS. We visited Taiwan. I met my in-laws, two nieces and one nephew for the first time.
  • Been watching a bunch of Halloweeny movies. Standouts: 10 Cloverfield Lane, Oddity, and The Autopsy of Jane Doe.
  • Speaking of frightening… this damn election is in 4 days. Hold onto your butts…
  • Some schmucks stole our Prius’s catalytic converter. We had been just sharing that one car, and I’m committed to fixing it myself, so we needed a functional set of wheels. I’d been wanting to acquire a Chevy Bolt for a while, so this gave me an excuse. So.. we now own a sweet-ass Chevy Bolt, and I could’nt be happier with the thing. It’s a massive upgrade over the Prius, plus there’s no risk of catalytic converter theft!
  • Jess and I ran in a goofy Halloween 10 Mile race on the Capital Trail last week. I’m still recovering from a rough go of bronchitis, so it was a slow one. But one of those “in hindsight it was fun” things.
