Check another state off the bucket list: this past weekend, I stepped foot for the first time in Washington state, after one major reschedule due to the nasty illness we caught en route home from Grandpa’s funeral.
It may not have been as warm as the originally planned visit, but the weather really held up for us. And what’s a cloud or two when in good company?

We’ve missed Nate so much: he’s one of those friends you can just pick up with after time apart like it’s only been a minute. His decision to leave Neuralink has been one of the biggest hits I’ve taken over my years at this job.

It’s so good to see a friend doing well and to get to enjoy his company in his element, from exploring (and photographing) Pacific Northwest nature together to enjoying drinks and food at cute restaurants and bars to savoring gooey dark chocolate brownies with coffee gelato over tea late at night in his living room.

What more is there to say? I’ve missed my friend.
