🌵 Personal
- Tennis ladder. Joined the Austin Tennis Net to start playing more matches.
- Game cam. We got a game cam for the backyard. Our fenceline and yard are very high traffic for possums, and we've been enjoying seeing their nightly activities (and the odd neighborhood cat), rather than just checking the fenceline before letting the dogs out one last time at the end of the day.
- Austin Urbanistas. Joined an event featuring members of the Austin community in careers in public transit, public service, utilities, city planning, etc! If you're Austin local, check it out. Organized by the incomparable Kelsey Huse!
