Colin's first Giants game

I’ve spent few weeks writing about myself. I simply just have not had the energy or will to write much about work. I hope that changes again in the coming days or weeks and I can get excited to write about things I’m seeing in the markets or at work.

For now though, writing here is therapeutic for me. I don’t know if I or anyone will ever go back and read through everything I’ve written over the last 7 years. But it’s been meaningful for me to try to write something down publicly almost every day. It’s a very grounding experience and I’ll continue to just write what’s on my mind every morning I can.

This morning, the biggest thing on my mind is Colin. I had an incredibly special weekend with my son. Sophia had a quick trip to Seattle for a baby shower so I was alone with Colin all Saturday and most of Sunday.

Despite things being a lot harder without having Sophia, it was a special weekend for us. I made sure to take him out and see the world. On Saturday, I took him to Ocean Beach for the first time on a gorgeous day. It was exhausting as he got a bit fussy at the end of the day, but watching him hang on out the beach and taking him to see the water was a great memory.

On Sunday, I took Colin to his first Giants game. San Francisco did not disappoint with a gorgeous 70 degree day and the Giants also held up their end of the bargain with a bottom of the 9th inning walk-off win. He was a trooper the entire day and despite being confused and perhaps overwhelmed, he did great.

Colin is now 5 months old. It’s not lost on me that he’s growing up fast and this is a very fun period of his time as a baby. I’m doing my best to savor every minute I have with him.
