2025/05 Ship's Log

Graham, Royal and I visited a local bike shop to explore buying a new bike for Graham. I’d thought to just explore and purchase later, but Graham took so well to this Specialized bike that we walked away with it.

I’ve been so proud of Graham’s persistence in practicing gear shifting and handlebar brakes and his generous spirit and encouragement for Royal, and proud of Royal’s lack of jealousy towards Graham and his tenacity in practicing to pedal Graham’s blue Strider bike (which was a much harder transition for Graham than gears and brakes have been).

I’ve agreed to join a summer DnD campaign with my neighbor Dominic Cossi and his family! I’ve been surprised how much I’ve enjoyed thinking up a backstory for my character (modeled after an amalgamation of characters in Stormlight Archives). I’m thinking this’ll be a good outlet for my budding interest in amateur acting, he he.
