I’ve been keeping busy lately, reading a lot, watching cool things, and enjoying my little fam in our still-newish setting. I have a few posts in the works, but in the meantime, here are some things I’ve enjoyed along the way.

This guy makes the best maps and now he has an art show in Portland (through December).

Worth a try to get to travel more places?!
