First normal work week after 3 weeks of travel and off-sites... Kind of excited for some routine and home cooked meals.

After dry January, I drank on all but 3 days of February.
… should probably try to split the difference this month.

Whew.
Excited to be home… despite that home being in the backwards-ass state of Iowa.

Regular, in-person face time is so incredibly valuable to maintaining good relationships, culture, and morale on remote-first teams. Super glad that we got the Panther team together in beautiful Sedona this week.

The seams keep getting misaligned between the plies of my hotel room toilet paper and it is driving me insane.

Omitting the word good from “good morning” will always be funny to me. So many people out here just walking around declaring that it’s morning… or that they’re mourning.

Driving home from dinner with my father-in-law and his buddies, I asked if there were any dive bars in Mesa. We found one. Pool tables, Marilyn Manson on the speakers, Joel Osteen on the TV, and there are escorts.

Tonight was awesome. I got to hang with my buddy, Allie, my cousin, Alexia, and see some fun bands. All bookended by 2 great 30 minute uber experiences.
Phoenix is weird, but also pretty cool.

That was some fantastic hockey.
Pretty easy to cheer for Canada after our recent trip… and all those MAGA hats behind the USA bench.
Great win.

The suburban sprawl in Phoenix is unreal. Such a weird place.
Weather is pretty nice right now tho.

It’s important to blare some IDLES every once in a while.

My latest hobby is to consume about 2-3 times the daily recommended amount of calories per day.
I’m really trying to make this muffin top pop.

Calgary is cool and Banff National Park is beautiful. Home after a week of exploring, watching hockey, snowshoeing, hiking, soaking in hot springs, and enjoying a bunch of great food + drinks.
I uploaded some photos from our trip here: derek.broox.com/phot...escape

Delayed flight hole from Denver. Watching USA vs CAN hockey from the New Belgium bar.
3 fights in the first 9 seconds of the game, lol. I love this.

The Canadian stereotypes are real. Hockey hair, mustaches, and friendly with “buddy, guys, and eh?” actually being the most popular words.
I always expected this to be exaggerated, but it’s very real. At least in Alberta.

Over the past few days in Canada I’ve met some fantastic young folks with a glow that I’ve not seen in a long time. It gave me a hope for the future that my home in the United States does not.

That was a fun blowout to watch. Not only by the Eagles, but by Kendrick as well.

Sittin at a pub in Canada, watching the Super Bowl. The local commentary is already fantastic.
