| Sipping on: Pacifico drafts with a lime. Being a native southern Californian, I loves me some Mexican lager. Especially when paired with tacos! Or chile verde. Or enchiladas…
Listening to: Indie rock for enjoyment and lo-fi beats for work. Podcasts are sports-related, and Stuff You Should Know.
Reading: The Swinger—an unauthorized biography of Tiger Woods, and The New York Times.
Excited about: Moving to Orlando, FL! It is time to downsize Mom’s living situation, and so we are both moving from our beloved Cali to be close to family who live there. I’m so impressed with her to be making such a big change at 85! 😊
