This weekend I realized for the first time in my life that saying "highway 24" in south eastern Michigan could refer to two completely different streets that are within a few miles of each other... that go in similar directions...

the rats are fun... I like the raked grill - that's a nice touch.

Wait... Is that an insult to my vocabulary?

AMAZING.

(I had forgotten about line rider!)

I cannot get over how incredibly mesmerizing this is...

how did you know? are you following us around? ;-)

I just landed in Detroit to visit my parents and be a tourist in my home town... So there's that!

It feels pretty fuckin' good to fabricate the sound of a UAV out of whole cloth using nothing but oscillators, reverb and doppler effect.

I'll admit to being turned on more than I should be.

because she can't receive the attachments she's asking for

My supervisor (pronounced: tells me what to do, doesn't understand our companies product line or operational strategy, and makes hella more money than I do) asked me how to forward an email message in gmail. I can't make that shit up.

but on the other hand, holy fuck that's a fun little car.

all that matters...

move: I wondered if this wouldn't happen... bittersweet... but I'm excited for you.

dog: we shared some messages. Not even a dog person, but I can relate and my heart aches for you

babies: some magical-neruro-biological-emotional witchcraft in those first few minutes, hours, days...

FL: I've already fawned all over how happy I am for you guys... keep it up.

I repaired a washing machine!

Well done!

I find very few things as rewarding as diagnosing a problem, troubleshooting the source, and repairing it with my own hands.

I'm not popping corks on any bottles yet...

but I had a second round of interviews today with a parade of VPs and the CFO. Nothin is certain until I have a signed offer letter in hand... but I think I crushed it. It all felt really natural and right. The role has changed a bit since our first meeting, but the hiring manager and I discussed at length, and it should be a healthy stretch of my abilities (also pronounced super challenging and almost daunting).

I'm super stoked. Thank you all again for the support and kindness. I actually went to the post from last week and re-listend to all of the pump up songs on the drive in. Mr. Miyagi gets me every time...

Remember your defense
