What’s with the blog?

I’ve had a challenging year. A good year in many ways, I got married to an amazing woman. I got to spend a lot of time with my sister, something I won’t be able to do in the future. I got to spend a lot of time with my family and nephews, and today I even got another nephew, Charlie Altonji!

But the weight of Katy’s diagnosis took up a lot of my thoughts this year, and these past 5 months living in Chicago have been challenging, away from the support systems we’ve built in Seattle and out of the normalizing routines we’re used to.

This vacation for me has been a chance to spend a ton of quality time with friends I love dearly. The 40 inches of snow we’ve gotten to ski has been an added plus!

The blog has is an attempt to focus my energy on ya’ll. I always need a project. Usually it’s a coding project. While here, I want my energy to be focused on you guys as much as I’m capable of. This is my attempt to cherish a great vacation.
