A few interesting things in and around Columbus.

Brandi has been several times, but I finally made my first visit to Austin.

Our second time in DC included a trip to the top of the Washington Monument.

And of course…Luna, our best girl.

I made a post last January 1 that noted a handful of goals for the year. Mission accomplished on these:

• Steps: 2,000,000
• Short stories read: 52
• Books read: 40

As for the rest…well, I fell short on the rest. What can I say? The world has been on fire, and reaching any goals is a pretty significant accomplishment. Here’s to a better year all around in 2026.
