Gobble gobble... 🦃 Turkey season is here!

October was a mix of highs and lows for me...

On the plus side - I got to take an absolutely epic, peak fall-foliage trip through the Northeast US.

And on the down side - I got absolutely swaaaamped with work since then. Straight keyboard zombie, terrible diet, no exercise, startup life ... but no benefits of free beer and ping-pong tables 🤔

Sooo yeah...that was quite the trip. But so worth it!

I love traveling to new places more than anything - but August through October, there's no place I'd rather be than the Northeast US. I love the crisp air, the changing seasons, and of course the fall foliage. I could watch it year-after-year my entire life... likely will 🤣
