This weekend was my birthday! I invited some friends over to watch Howl's Moving Castle with me, though we ended up also playing some video games and eating cupcakes. I had a ton of fun, and even got to wear my purple cape! Here we are in height order, our classic lineup.
This week I went back to school! But before that, I got to volunteer with Shield and Scroll, the Lowell Honor Society, to help out at teacher training. I served lunch to all the teachers, and got to talk to some familiar faces!
This weekend I went to Outside Lands music festival in Golden Gate Park! I had a fantastic time, and got to see one of my favorite bands, Lovejoy, perform. They came all the way from England for this festival! The other bands were also super fun to watch. Here I am with my friend Hannah in front of the giant sign!
This week, I toured some colleges with my dad! I really liked all three of the ones I went to see, which was great. Here I am at Yale, participating in a tradition of touching this statue's shoe for good luck!
This weekend my dad and I went to the Color Factory in New York City! It was super fun. They had tons of awesome photo places. Here we are in the room full of confetti, which we threw before our photos! I was finding confetti in my clothes for days, but it was worth it.
This week, Nonie and Doc came to Montreal to see us for a few days after the NPL convention! We had a great time seeing the sights, eating some great food, and of course, playing a super fun escape room together.

This weekend I am in Montreal, Quebec, for the National Puzzler's League convention! As usual, I'm running my trivia game, this time without an elevator. I also got to play in the Extravaganza event on Saturday night, which was super cool! Here I am afterwards, with the extra tape.
This week, I went to a Fourth of July parade in Wisconsin! There were lots of floats and some interesting stuff. My personal favorite was the truck with kids grilling on the back. Here we are in front of the parade route!
This weekend I went up to Wisconsin to visit Mimi and Papi! We are also headed to some of the art galleries in the area. This one has some of Stephanie's art at it, and it has a really cool field and a maze on the premises!
This weekend my mom and I went to our first SF Pride parade! We didn't go to the whole parade, but got to see a ton of floats and groups. It was super fun, and I got a free flag! We also got to stop by the Castro district and take a photo with the giant flag.
This weekend is the Telluride Bluegrass festival! I've been having a great time on the tarp listening to music, even though it's rained a lot. The mountains still look awesome, and there are some great vendors too! I bought this multicolored parasol.
This week, since it's summer, my family and I have been playing lots of our new video game! I'm a big fan of the Legend of Zelda series, and a new game released last month, called Tears of the Kingdom. We've been having a blast playing during our time off! Here we are diving off an island.
This week was my last week of school, and this weekend marks the beginning of my summer break! To celebrate, my friends and I had a game day at Birdie's house. We played some card games and watched Connor play video games, while Emma played with Birdie's dog, Mo.
This week was the seniors' last days of class! Since I'm in the shield and scroll honor society, I got to attend graduation and help out with setup and ushering. I had a blast talking to some of my teachers and getting to cheer for my Class of 2023 friends! Here I am in my Shield and Scroll getup before the event.
This week is the beginning of finals, but instead of stressing all his students out, the chemistry teacher I'm an assistant for let his students draw all over the fire exit with chalk. I got to join in too. Everyone had a great time, and drew some awesome stuff!
