High school football. Chapin vs. Mid Carolina.
Happy anniversary, Lizzy. Hard to believe it’s only been 23 years. Happy to be married to such an amazing partner and friend.
My 17-year-old is telling our 10-year-old about an old technology from her childhood… cable television.
Semester has started and I’m working at the coffee shop on some homework.
The traditional Team Wertz “It’s still dark out” first day of school picture. Liz with her first day at Piney Woods and her robot arm. Ryan’s first day at Chapin Intermediate. Jill’s first day at Chapin High. And Norah starts her senior year.
Just introduced my children to the Blues Brothers.
Reading over the syllabus for one of the classes I’m taking this semester and I’ll be using R and Python. (And trying to learn Swift on my own…) Hopefully my brain can keep it all straight.
Sunrise over two countries.
Detroit.
Date night with my amazing wife.
We thought we could get our nightly walk in before the storm hit.
We were wrong.
After a long rain delay: play ball.
Visited Virginia Tech, Roanoke, James Madison and Radford this week. Tech was a clear favorite for Norah.
Love the new Lego Galaxy Explorer, but the new Lion Knight’s Castle is the most perfect nostalgia Lego set for me. I loved all the castle sets when I was a kid.
I’ve now done enough academic writing in grad school, that I’m starting to come around to the Oxford comma.
Liz and I voted this morning first thing. I was on my way to work and she was headed to the gym. No matter how busy you are, make time to vote in the primary today. Turnout will be low and your vote really matters. #vote
Also, shoutout to the election workers at Cornerstone Pres, which is always the most organized precinct around.
I love writing with fountain pens, but I’m just not using them enough every day. I cleaned out a bunch of pens tonight and mixed up my rotation. I’m down to two fountain pens in my pen case… a TWSBI Eco with green ink and a Lamy AL-Star with black ink. ✒️
