I’m up at my brother’s house tonight for the first time in…almost two years?

This pandemic, man. It’s been rough. Haven’t been able to come and visit, which is a real bummer. I love it up here. I really do. It’s really nice to be here and visit.

We’re going river rafting tomorrow! My cousin Jeremy is here, too, with Samantha and Cameron, two of his children who are SO GROWN UP NOW. It’s been years since I’ve seen them, too. Like, three years, I think.

It’s nice to see family after so long. And Scott and Addie have done so much work on their backyard, it’s really amazing. They built a patio, a fire pit, a trellis, planted a metric f*ckton of plants, created a pond with a waterfall…it’s amazing. We ate dinner outside with J and Mike, who came out from Multnomah.

Such a great day. Beat. Sleep time. Night night.
