Lost my keys today. The worst part isn’t even losing the keys—that was an annoyance, but took less than two hours to fix—but, silly as it sounds, losing the key ring. I’d had that same key ring for around 25 years, and it was dad’s for years before I got it. Sad to have lost it.

Morning of the final day of the @norwescon #nwc42 exec retreat. Found a good mug left behind on a prior year.
Just back from a nice 30 minute, 1.4 mile morning walk, and can smell breakfast cooking (bacon!). Not a bad start to day two of the @norwescon #nwc42 exec retreat!
I’m on a boat! Heading out to the @norwescon Exec retreat weekend to dive into planning for #nwc42!
