Sitting out on the drive with a fire going and the football game on. The kid is there in person. #GBR #football

PRd my 5k this morning! (27:55 still has lots of room for improvement!) Beautiful chilly morning for a race.

There are days where work drives me bonkers; there are other days when I come away deeply appreciative that I work with some fantastic engineers doing really good stuff. Today is one of the latter. Thankful.

Nice cool morning to get out and run. 5k nice and steady. Running my first real race in several years on Saturday.

Caitlin Clark with a garbage rebound at the end of the game to make it a triple-double. What a performance!

As a first year WNBA follower, one of my big takeaways is that the league needs to upgrade their refs. So many poor and uncommunicated calls every game. Women’s college basketball has better officiating.

Youngest daughter has her school permit and is driving herself to school for the first time this morning. End of an era of doing drop-offs and pick-ups. Phew.

Brisket turned out great! I’d give myself maybe a 8.5/10. Think I could’ve pulled it a little sooner. Still, great flavor, texture is fine, lots of leftovers… yum.

Nervously doing my research as I prepare to smoke my first brisket on the pellet grill tomorrow. Well, starting tomorrow night, going overnight into Monday. Getting hungry thinking about it.

I grew up in Nebraska, a huge Husker fan, and never made it to a football game. My kid is now a freshman at UNL and attending their first game today. I’m kinda jealous, but mostly grateful. #GBR
