Bangkok changed the way I think about cities. In its neon streets, crowded temples, and layered history, I discovered what urban texture truly means—and why some places stay with you long after you leave.

Hope everyone had a safe and fun New Year's! First one in a while where I didn’t have any drinks at all. Debating about continuing on with a dry January. Anyone else staying dry?

The energy to get anything done today is nonexistent. Watching it snow, see how cold it is (only -14C but still 🥶) and watching the mayhem in YVR, makes me want to just stay warm with my coffee in hand in my Lazeboy.

My morning (so far):

- Wake up daughter and make coffee
- Watch her come out of her room at the last second to go catch her bus
- Get a text saying her bus didn't show up downtown
- Drive her to school through some very slow traffic
- Return to cold coffee

School is back!
