Tuesday Truths

View from the family cottage as the sun sets

  • I’m usually late. I know, it can feel disrespectful, but I mean no harm. I’m bad at time-management and most of the time I think there is more than enough minutes to get there.

  • I despise corn on the cob. SORRY NOT SORRY. Fresh corn, if it’s off the cob, is just fine.

  • I’ll never choose traditional chicken wings - give me adult chicken nuggets or nothing

  • Night drives will always hold a special place in my heart. They were therapy, they were a means to an end, and they got me through truly boring stretches of road much easier and seemingly faster.

  • I always knew, even despite wanting to be in the PNW so badly, that I’d end up back in the Great Lakes region eventually. Eventually is sooner than I could have imagined.

  • Olympic National Park will forever be my favorite and that belief has only been reinforced living an hour or so from many parts of it.

  • I don’t love deep water. I will swim in water over my head, but sometimes it freaks me out and I need a floatation device.

  • Chili should have beans and that’s final.

  • I will drink about 10x as much water if I have a container with a straw. It’s just science.

  • Great Lakes get ready, there will be a big boy in a speedo next summer gracing your beaches.
