   I am habitually bad about barreling onto the next fire or goal when something nice is complete — I’m desperately trying to get better about pausing and appreciating.

   So, thanks for appreciating with me.

     @cabel You had the whole room hanging on every word and it was a very emotional reveal. Two thumbs up, would cry again

     ② I gave a short talk at the last XOXO conference. Months of anxiety, but, maybe worth it.

     It was a thing I’ve wanted to (fully) share for a long time. I approached it like a story, with a proper arc. And… it basically worked? Most of my jokes landed! Everything I set up pretty much delivered! The crowd was amazing! It was about as good as it gets.

     (Trivia: I write my talks in my head, not a word written down. But that means, despite being done, my brain is STILL practicing and revising 😵💫)

     I had two wins this weekend I want to remember.

     ① My son Joby found a janky script that could automate his Forza auctions (lol). We downloaded it, and tried it, but it didn’t quite work — it’d hit the wrong button.

     Joby found the piece of the code he thought it might be (I was proud!), and then Dad showed up to fix some Python!!! I’ve never, ever touched Python!!! I immediately mixed tabs and spaces, whoops!!!

     But I fixed it. (And wrote a comment explaining my fix!) He was so happy.
