we recently discovered sawyer camp trail, a really nice running/biking path that’s both close to home and breathtakingly beautiful. the path is paved and 6 miles each way with hills towards the end, so it’s a reasonably tough bike ride and probably a really hard run (I’ll never know).

we did a family bike ride last weekend with simon in the moby wrap and hope to make it a regular thing.

also, i just got a used BOB Jogging Stoller off of craigslist, so that i can go jogging with simon.

I recently requested an office reconfiguration (pretty commonplace since we moved into our new building a while back). After a quick meeting with a drafter to discuss what I wanted, he sent me a draft layout. A few approvals later, the guys hit my office up and within 2 hrs had it transformed. Now it’s much more spacious, and my desk is even height adjustable! Push a button and it raises up to standing height, push another and it lowers back down for seated work.

Before:
