Within the month of May we did many things. Probably too many things.
Mother’s day. A birthday. Girl’s trip to Michigan, Canada, and Ohio. Quad Rock. Family in town for over a week. High school graduation. Read a couple books. Yard work, house work, work work. And somehow in the midst of it all we started rock climbing as a family.
It’s been a lot.
But it’s been a good lot!
And it was that specific lot that kept me from keeping up with the newsletter.
But here we are, on the eve of summer. Less than 2 months from Never Summer. And I find myself refreshed. Ready and eager to jump back into it all.
As this newsletter goes out I expect to be starting Horsetooth summit #55. Over half way to 100 teeth on the year.
I've almost finished my third reading of “What I Talk About When I Talk About Running”. A wonderful book by Haruki Murakami about the intersection of writing and running. It’s become a bit of a comfort book - something to lean on when the candle has been burned on too many sides.
I’ve started keeping an Adventure Log. Strava, where I record runs, doesn’t really make sense for tracking climbs at the gym. And sometimes I’d like to remember a walk that maybe the world doesn’t care about. So I keep it here.
I’ve started another regular journal - F24. I’ve fallen behind on the Spirit box - I’m only halfway through indexing D24. Over a journal behind. Feels a bit insurmountable to be honest. But I think if I can get back to routines and keep chipping away at it - I’ll get there.
Work has been busy. Too busy to keep up with Skulltooth. I’m excited to get back to game dev but like the newsletter - some things just had to be shelved in the month of May to make room for an absolute tsunami of must haves.
So here we are.
Nearly half way through 2024.
Some goals ahead of pace, a few already achieved, others far behind or forgotten altogether.
What’s left for the year?
🤷♀️
See ya next week.
Isn't it great not to know what will happen tomorrow? I think that's the beauty of life or part of it. I love journals but keep them in a planner sort of way. My diary's have kinda turned into paintings because paintings can mean whatever. Unless, the actual painter explains it's true meaning that is and you really don't have to do that. It sounds like you'll have alot going on with family distractions. I hope that everything goes great and like your last thing said see ya soon!!!
