Why thank you. It was good to be back after 15 years away.

Me and Frida at MoMA.
(#mboct Day 19/30)
Finished a day traipsing around the Hudson Valley with the #pumpkinblaze at Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson (just up river from Sleepy Hollow).
It got bigger in the last 15 years since I last went.

I didn’t need a compass to tell which side of Pennsylvania I was in today.
(#mboct Day 17/30)
In the seemingly random rotation of my facial hair cycle, things came up clean shaven this time.

Far from ethereal, today’s dinner celebrates National Cheese Curd Day with Culver’s CurderBurger - yes, that’s a patty-sized fried cheese curd.
Still processing this - literally and figuratively.
(#mboct Day 15 / 30)
Well. One of my wheels at least.
They can’t all be winners.
(#mboct Day 14 / 30)
Got my daily walk in early today - Four miles or so amongst the fog and the animals at Fort Ben.

The legend: Puccini’s Campfire pizza. Summer sausage, sweet onion marmalade, gorgonzola & fresh rosemary.

When I think of hygge, I think of family time. Like this photo from New Year’s Eve last year.
To be that close and that together and that happy at the end of such a tough year brings me comfort even now.

Lots of bridges on yesterday’s hikes, but the highlights were the falls and the tunnel (from an abandoned railroad line) at Clifty Falls State Park.
(#mboct Day 10/30 … and posted from glorious home internet)
This part of this morning’s four mile hike didn’t feel safe, but turned out ok.
Highly recommend the trails at Clifty Falls - and the ranger-led Railroad History hike.
(#mboct Day something/30)
Missed twilight (barely), but got the tent set up for a weekend with the kids at Clifty Falls State Park.
(#mboct Day 8/30)
Took the kids to the grocery store after school today, stopped by the spice rack for cinnamon.
Came home and cooked fish sticks and fries.
Livin that Dad Lyfe.

Since I got an Apple Watch at the beginning of the year, I’ve been walking more. These days I shoot for a walk of >2 miles each day.
Vast majority of those miles are on the trail right across the street from my house - one mile out and one back.
(#mboct Day 6/30)
Since I’ve been working from home, I’ve kept a few toys on my desk or close at hand.
But this one? This one’s my favorite.
(#mboct Day 5/30)
Based on the leaves on the trail at Fort Ben this morning, we’re about to take a sharp turn into Autumn proper here soon.
(#mboct Day 4/30)
Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes are the majority of my lunch this week.
Note to self: Have a good snack plan.
(#mboct Day 3/30)
A fresh college football Saturday - this one at home.
Still thinking about Michigan State after dark last week, though.
(Day 2 of #mboct)
We found our way out eventually, though.
Got a touch lost in a corn maze this evening.
Now that I’m not in engineering, I can name a git branch “at-the-coco-coco-kibana” and not feel the least bit guilty about it.
Even before the pandemic, it had been far too long since I went to Shapiro’s Delicatessen here in Indy.
Was a great father-son lunch today as I introduced Benjamin to the Rueben.
Next up for The Quest.
September 25, 2021:
12pm FIU at Central Michigan 7pm Nebraska at Michigan State
Best combo out of five (!) home games in the state of Michigan that day.
I tend to interpret “Only in theaters” these days as “Welp. Won’t see that until later.”
