I can’t believe another year has passed! I wasn’t planning on writing a post for this second year, but a fair number of ‘firsts’ happened, so I thought it might be worth documenting.

Heads up: this blog post will be a bit all over the place. It’s much more the synthesis of a collection of thoughts around a temporal location (i.e. – a diary/log) than around a topic (i.e. – an essay). To that end, I’ll put things in bite-sized categories with headings. It’s not my favorite format, but that’s life sometimes!

This weekend was my first barbershop competition: the Northeast District contest in Windham, NH. It was a really great experience; the “competing” part went by too quickly to notice, but the 2-day-long show was fantastic! I’m capturing my thoughts on the experience here.
