January break

I was able to take a break after leaving Mapbox and am starting a new role very soon. Here’s a look back at how I’ve spent January 2019:

• Rearranged our storage closet
• Lunched with friends at some of my favorite SF spots. Nopalito, Underdogs Too, The Grove, Barcha, The Snug, more
• Wrote a few blogposts
• Watched the fish at Cal Academy
• Celebrated my dad’s birthday with my parents in Wisconsin
• Swam and rowed in some wild winter water
• Helped hire a new food pantry leader at church
• Made so many dumplings
• Baked Flour banana bread, cheesecake, quiche
• Read A Year Off, China Rich Girlfriend, Devils Teeth, Shark Drunk
• Got a massage
• Visited SFMOMA – highlights are the Vija Celmins and The Sea Ranch exhibitions
• Attended 4 yoga classes
• Took one of the cats to the vet
• Interviewed with some terrific teams – these conversations give me hope for an improving culture of communication in the tech industry
• Saw Mary Poppins live at SF Symphony
• Met some good dogs at a dog show
