As part of my work with Automattic, I’m granted a 3 month sabbatical after 5 years and I want to document some of the projects and things that I manage to do.
I haven’t gotten much done since the last post. Unfortunately my grandma passed away (aged 95 – she lived a great life and we’ll miss her) so there was a funeral to attend. Tami and I flew into Provo and picked up Jake, drove up to Idaho. The trip was fast and memorable — 32 of 35 grandchildren attended. Hopefully I’ll see many of them again 🤞.
Lindsay had a week of games (before the funeral) in Irvine. I spent 4 days driving back and forth for those. Other trips to Redlands and around SoCal have also occurred.
The house needed to be prepped for Christmas. I got all the decorations out of storage and setup the garlands, lights and trees.
Jake came home for Thanksgiving. We went surfing twice. Tami cooked a fantastic meal. We watched movies (Wicked, Moana 2, Rez Ball) and had an enjoyable time together.
I was asked to become a lay-leader in our local church organization and started assuming some of those duties.
