Hack for Healthcare
Hack for Healthcare

My first hackathon, and my team won 2nd place! That was pretty exciting.

The whole event made me appreciate the process required to take a concept to product, the diversity of people's backgrounds, and how much knowledge I have acquired from 10 years in the healthcare industry.

Cape Disappointment
Camping at Cape Disappointment, named after someone's failure for finding the Columbia River.

The bright and nearly full moon drowned out the stars, and the next day fog and mist rolled in. This was a rare clear evening for the coastal area.

Tigerly Ox
Pork Com (rice) from Tigerly Ox in Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle, WA (second location opened recently, somewhere)

They certainly do not skimp on the food. Pork was flavorful, albeit a tad dry,

Sampled the Dominican Republic truffle in store. I think that one was my favorite.

Power lines

Hello July-er wait, August! er... blah

Monthly goals died.
Sorta. I keep mini resolutions in my head now. Some have been successful, like reading more and hit 9000+ steps every other day. Some have not, like sleep better hours and socialize more.

I guess, small update on life will suffice.

July was super busy and tiring and frustrating.
First half was great - I went to Japan for a couple weeks and had tons of fun indulging in the culture and running around with friends.
Second half was bad - work presented some seriously infuriating situations, and the reality of my diminishing social circles really hit me.

August has slowly gotten better, yet I still feel dissatisfied. Lately been doing lots of soul searching... like what I really want to do, and how will I get there. Perhaps another trip (not as long) will clear my head. Labor day is coming up... hmmmm.

SUP yoga
Standup paddleboard and yoga session. 
While it was a fun challenge, I got dizzy very quickly with any poses where the head was not upright... so, didn't enjoy the yoga part of it as much as I thought, but enjoyed the paddleboard part on a nice pretty day.
