Travel all booked for Goatmire Elixir!

It turned into a bit of a family trip to Copenhagen as wellโ€”happy to finally take my family to one of my favorite cities.

Thoroughly enjoying my trip to South Korea, though the weather may succeed in melting me into a puddle.

(Last summer I took on a UK heat wave, so I guess I had to ratchet up the difficulty level this year.)

Off to South Korea ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท tomorrow for ~2 weeksโ€”on a tour with a load of US Taekwondo students (including my son), at least for most of it.

(Iโ€™m both excited and preemptively exhausted.)

Makes sense. For what itโ€™s worth, they do say their spice mixes are GF and โ€œ[they] do not use any forms of gluten in [their] production facility.โ€

Weโ€™ll see more of that up here, and we havenโ€™t been without it totallyโ€”the heat dome a few years back led to plenty of deaths in Portland (esp the poorer area of Lents), where few city trees, the heat island effect, relative low AC distribution/poverty led to some very sad stories.

I certainly agreeโ€”though the state of things in the PNW vs the SW currently comes down to โ€œmay be suffocated by wildfire smoke this seasonโ€ vs โ€œwill definitely roast alive in my own house if the power goes out.โ€

My uncle passed away due to heat exposure in AZ; being poor is its own env risk factor.

But Iโ€™ll waitโ€”until mid-Julyโ€”Iโ€™m taking full advantage of the little paid holiday GitHub gave me; resting, traveling, reading, spending time with family and working on some projects Iโ€™ve squirreled away.

Iโ€™ve never taken this much time for myself between roles, so I plan to enjoy it thoroughly!

Iโ€™d say it feels like getting the band back together, but now itโ€™s more of an orchestraโ€”both the staff and services have multiplied, and I canโ€™t wait to take up my new role as Chief Architect, getting back to the sort of work I truly love, working hand-in-hand with a team.
