My favorite tulip is always the one that sneaks into a different bed.

OMG! OMG! Saw a beaver kit in Four Mile Run tonight. So smol! Also heard a beaver tail slap but didn’t see the beaver that did it.

I did not see a beaver on International Beaver Day today and I'm pretty bummed about it. I saw one in Four Mile Run last night though.

It’s patio beer weather.

Bikes are very impractical. What if I need to haul 40 gallons of water?

I was told this was impossible on Columbia Pike during an initial public meeting.

The Mount Vernon Trail is TRAIL OF THE YEAR!!!!! Thanks to everyone who has volunteered and donated in the last 5 years.

More very important top secret trail stuff.

Doing top secret trail work.

I became a paid subscriber to @alexandriabrief.com last month. If you have a few bucks to spare each month and enjoy someone else reading and summarizing 271 page documents while providing context from multiple community meetings, it's a worthwhile investment.

I was hungry.

I do it all for the trail cake.

Transpo With Whimsy. Jolene wore her flower costume on our walk to meet the the Walk For Peace, getting a smile and wave from several of the monks. #TranspoBingo

First weld is much like the first time I did drywall mud.

Rode my bike to volunteer on the Mount Vernon Trail and saw DC Transpo and @transpobingo.bsky.social Celebrity @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social!

First @transpobingo.bsky.social square for walking to my local small business, Northside 10 for dinner and a drink.

Bound for Milano Cortina.

TranspoBINGO card just dropped. Tons of additional sponsors this year. It's a fun way to explore and try out new transportation options and destinations.

Taking a Google Meeting with the @mountvernontrail.org Bark Ranger to talk about a new trail project. And treats.

Happy International Golden Retriever Day to my buddy Jolene!

"Everyone’s an expert when they’re not the one driving the plow at 2 a.m." Felt deeply as someone who spends a lot of time fixing things on the Mount Vernon Trail and had people trash the work and my partners at NPS.

Got an e-mail from the office director encouraging us to use GPT for our work to "be more efficient" and not "get left behind". And it made me think of this poem by Kathy Hepinthal Parks.

Glad we are better at fixing things on the trail than we are at choreography.

Train autists are so silly. Don’t they know that they could be fixated on collecting items related to the history of the Navy and Marine Memorial instead?

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Everyone can be great, because everyone can serve.” Be GREAT by serving our community on the #MLKDayofService! We are partnering with Volunteer Arlington to provide service opportunities on Monday, January 19. To sign up , visit buff.ly/5FVJPaT #arlingtonva

New beaver created art installation in Four Mile Run Park.

One of my ASD special interests is the Navy and Marine Memorial. After several months of archival research I finally found (and soon will own) a photo of Ernesto Begni del Piatta, the sculptor of the monument. I hope to write the tragic story of the monument in the near future.

She halp with fixing the door lock.

Last day! We're half way to our goal.

FoMVT has made $1.7 million in improvements in the last 5 years, starting with 1 volunteer event leader. We've got a team of 20 now and are performing complex repairs and making investments like new water fountains. If you appreciate the difference on the trail, I'll appreciate your donation.

One year ago I was freezing in an alley in DC making a working Carla Cargo bike trailer out of parts from multiple trailers. One of the most fun days of my life.

Jolene is ready to be my hipster drinking buddy.

The new Oakville Triangle ER is nice and also walking distance from my house.

Big thanks to @alxnow.bsky.social for the feature on a recent @mountvernontrail.org trash cleanup. We're out on the trail almost every Saturday making improvements. Help out at mountvernontrail.org/events

Only 253 people listened to more Jeff Rosenstock than me this year.

Just $1,649 away from reaching our $10k match. Had a great meeting with NPS today to discuss ways we can increase our support for the trail in 2026. Make a donation at mountvernontrail.org/donate

Update: Opening next week sometime. Grand opening celebration to occur in the Spring.

New opening line for my dating profile just dropped.

Jolene knows who the weak link is at the dinner table.

Are those tiny buckets filled with treats?

The opposite of coastal flooding.

Week 5 of being a full time trail maintainer.

Make me an offer.
