Fun fact 1: I secured a very good fake drivers license when I was 15 years old. Mainly to get into 18+ shows and see bands. I was straight edge and didn’t drink/drug). I also taught myself to drive. Therefore, I didn’t receive my first real driver’s license until age 21.


Finished reading: The Future Library: A Tor.com Original by Peng Shepherd. A compelling fictional novella that riffs off of the future of a very real project. A commentary on climate change and human nature. A quick fun read.📚

Allison is a friend and neighbor. I’m a long time Red Wing customer and fan. We all knew this was coming but it’s nice to see good things happen to good people.
