When I don't have something on the top of my mind to write about I look back at pictures to see if I can find inspiration. Today I started scrolling back and didn't see anything that stood out until I went to BBC (not big black cac), but Before Ba Chu and it was an interesting year (2017). It started with fish tail blankets that were disappointing. Took a trip to White Peter's family beach house in So Cal. Found Evan's twin. Went golfing and ate BBH. Children were born. Birthdays were had. Trips were taken. I went to Nashville. Car crashed into my fence. Anabelle got cancer. I went on my last trip to Guatemala (I didn't know it at the time). I remember the lonely drive home after arriving back in America from SFO home. Avery was born. I went on a road trip for work. I believe Nha was still living with me (or at least there's a lot of pictures of Baxter). I used to buy pandan waffles. Went on my annual golf trip. Took my only "headshot" until recently. Office building flooded. Ana lost her hair and cheeks were swollen from steroids. I ate food. Went on the group trip to Nashville (again). Took pictures of people sleeping. Escaped escape rooms. Went on my last work fishing trip (didn't know that then either). Then on June 9th, 2017, I got a picture of you. The picture that would change the course of my life. You know the one with you holding Ryan with your fake boobs...
I like this picture of Baxter. He's giving me that "whatcha looking at/whatcha doing" suspicious look. Anyhow, I recall people often telling me they don't know how they could live without me (usually because I'm helpful or something). But I often think, you've lived this long without me, you'd be fine if we never met. The same could be said for Team Uyen-D. I'm sure we'd both be fine if we'd never met, but I'm glad we did. Now I have someone to pick me up from the airport (if they're not at the airport traveling with me). Thanks Em! TLG!!

I choose to stay silent and reply to this post even though I have something I want to say. Happy 2021
