June 2025

Summer bloomed. June was a month of new routines, beach fishing, cooking outside to stop the AC from exploding, re-learning how to take care of a baby, and more.

We took a trip to St. Augustine with the family for some beach relaxation and fishing. Took a fishing charter, ate great food, and overheated in the Florida heat. We had a family of deer live in our backyard for a week or so. The mom would be around in the middle of the night, and the two babies would just hang out and sleep in the yard all day until it was time to forage in the garden in the dark.

Best and Worst of the month:

• Best thing I watched, read, or listened to: 11.22.63 by Stephen King, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

• Worst thing I watched, read, or listened to: Jurassic World Dominion

• Best experience of the month: Speak Easy Supper Club again, fishing charter in St. Augustine

• Best thing I ate: Coffee Dry-Aged Ribeye from Chef Kyle, my slow-smoked short ribs
