Went to my first bridal shower last weekend. Interesting time all around. The bride-to-be is the fiancée of a dear friend of mine going back to high school, which meant his sister, mother, and step-mother were also all in attendance—none of whom I’ve seen in 30 years.
Also, we won the TP wedding dress competition (last photo)!
The entire @pocket team is in town this week for an on-site. 🥰
For our first meal together, we rolled the dice and ended up with a royal feast. Like most teams at @mozilla, Pocket is geographically distributed; it’s so refreshing (and rare) to have everyone in the same place at the same time—a dinner like this is a treasure.
Apple has responded to our Pride theme by spotlighting Pocket in two different collections in the App Store.
I can’t overstate how much we appreciate that: making a statement like this invites a fair amount of hate mail; it’s incredible when a big player steps in to lend some support.
The cascade of minor apartment advances: I bought a sofa and then a desk, then I hung some art, and finally I had friends over. I even baked popovers.
I need to sort out a few more things like refreshing the paint, and having cushions made for the window seats, but I’m starting to feel settled.
Or will, once I cycle out all the moving boxes that I broke down for recycling.
