Headshots
I want to give a hearty thank you to Malinda Hartong for a fantastic series of headshots from a recent session. These are the first headshots I’ve taken in a studio; she was patient, accommodating, and instructive.
Roadtrippin' With Mr. Giddy
While I like to listen to audiobooks when I drive, walk, or exercise, long road trips call for mixing it up a lot. As a result, I made this playlist filled with great driving jams and fun songs that keep me energized on a long journey.
Book Review: Pipeline to Power
This popped up on my Audible.com recommendations list, and it seemed like a timely and interesting read about graft and corruption in the judicial selection process, though it took a couple of years to produce.

I found myself excited through this book. The author, Eric Klinenberg, paints a vivid and expressive overview of the need for social infrastructure such as libraries, community centers, pools, parks, and more.

I have begun live-streaming on TikTok. I plan on streaming regularly, five days a week (Tuesday through Saturday).

Book Review: Happiness is a Red Teapot
I have many tea books in my backlog, which I'll work through in the coming year. First up, though, is this cute book of tea-related quotes and photos.

Cones for the Cure
I’d like to draw your attention to Cones for the Cure, a charity collaboration between Cincinnati-based Graeter’s Ice Cream and a children’s cancer foundation called The Cure Starts Now.
