october kind of felt like it lasted forever, but also i packed a ton into the month. mostly i’m grateful for cooler weather, for renewed energy, and for a week of great family time.

highlights included:

closed out my weekend in orlando with the parents // started running again // baylor beat mccallie // arkansas beat tennessee! // dog sat for otto for a week // got to meet president clinton // impromptu weeknight drinks and dinner with sanjeet // impromptu fancy dinner with alexa // alex popped into town for dinner // attended a great fundraiser for kamala harris // tried out a few new-to-me restaurants in astoria // stayed with blanche for a few days // spent a week in memphis catching up with friends, supporting great organizations, and celebrating diwali with my family // quick trip to little rock for an event at the clinton school and lunch with maggie and her mother

the photos are going to be out of order this month but here you go:
