My Valentine and my newly minted adult human, headed to UCincy to preview the campus he’s abandoning us for. He just turned 18, which means he can vote, enlist, and go through the non-TSA line without us. Happy Valenbirthday, my loves.
If you want to read more about my obsession with creativity and humanity in the age of AI, boy, have I got a Substack for you. First post is up, link is in the profile. Subscribe, won’t you? #substack #ai #creativity
Thrilled for my boy! He’s heading to his first choice: the industrial design program at the University of Cincinnati’s DAAP school. He’s going to make things, and one day you’ll probably want to buy them. #universityofcincinnati #cincinnatibearcats #uc #cincy #oprf
Our boy cleans up well. Fun to see these high schoolers on their best behavior in front of their parents, dressing up for each other before they partied together. #OPRF #Homecoming
Perfect weather in #Montreal. We hear that’s a rare occurrence, so we timed our pre-anniversary trip well. If you haven’t been here yet, hurry! #OhCanada
This may be the most Wisconsin thing I’ve ever done: the Beer Puppeteer competition at #HarvestFest in #SturgeonBay. @turnerpix11 and I made it to the finals, where he and his soaked shorts won silver and I won bronze. @andrew_gall disappointed us the most, and we still can’t even look at him. @davecalf also showed a concerning lack of fine motor skills. And @vsoliven sat it out because something something carbs something. Overall, we earned the right to mingle with the locals. #DoorCounty #Wisconsin
We’ve made a bittersweet decision. After many unforgettable escapes to Goathaus, our beloved midcentury A‑frame in beautiful Door County, it’s time for us to say goodbye.
When I was a kid, I envisioned one day owning a home on a tranquil wooded bluff with a view of a large body of water; when we discovered this place, that vision came to life. We love it. We’ll miss it. But we haven’t been able to spend as much time there as we used to, so we’re letting our heads win the fight with our hearts on this one.
If you or someone you know is dreaming of a Door County sanctuary that can be a turnkey Airbnb with all the furniture, supplies, and rental history (including repeat guests) to make it earn its keep, well, here you go. Or, just keep it to yourself. That won’t be our decision to make any more.
Sigh. Link is in the profile.

Now this is how to spend a Saturday: check out the one-day mural showdown in Logan Square, and see the artists’ process as the art comes to life—all while sipping a whiskey shake from Small Cheval. Good idea, wifey. #Battle4TheCity2025 #LiveArt #StreetArt #ArtBattle #LoganSquare #606 #Chicago
