We’ve received lots of rain this weekend, giving the newly-blooming trees a good soak.
The “Christmas ships” tour stopped by the neighborhood beach tonight. I love that there’s a neighborhood beach here.
Went out with the X100VI in a break between rain storms yesterday.
The view from my desk is pretty great, sometimes.
Our new home has a long fence that has been increasingly hidden by unruly grape vines this summer. This week, the grapes are ripe enough to eat! What a treat.
Important update: The cappuccino at Anchorhead is transformatively delicious. I stopped for this breakfast each day I was downtown for posit::conf this week.
I posted yesterday that I’m happy and excited to be presenting a talk at posit::conf right here in my own new hometown next week.

Covid numbers in Seattle are bad right now! I’ll be wearing a mask most of the time at the conf and “testing in” daily. I certainly don’t want to get sick again, or bring it home, and I believe that making events safer is a shared responsibility, not a solely individual decision about risk.
You’ll still know I’m smiling underneath because my eyes get all wrinkly NO THAT’S NOT JUST BECAUSE I’M OLD.
The week is almost here! I’m giving a talk at posit::conf(2024) about some of the challenges leading a data science team. Am I ready? I will be! I’m looking forward to meeting and learning throughout the week.
