Wordle player
I hit 1,000 Wordle games played just this past week. My starter word used to be “stare,” which gave me my only “Wordle in 1” badge. However, after losing to several –er words, I changed my starter word to “taser.”

Broadway in Boston season ticket holder
My wife Kate and I met and fell in love in New York City and frequently went to Broadway shows. For nearly our entire time in Boston, we’ve been season ticket holders of Broadway in Boston. Some of my all-time favorite shows: The Producers, Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon, Hamilton, Fun Home, and Six.
Fan of IKEA bookcases
We have more than a dozen Kallax bookcases around our house. And those are Markor bookcases behind me in all my book review videos.
Visited Berlin
In January, I visited Berlin for several days with my eldest son Ben. We went to the Stasi Museum, Berlin TV Tower, Berlin Cathedral, The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Checkpoint Charlie, the Berlin Wall, and more. I was most struck by how Germans didn’t try to hide their dark history. They want it out in the open so no one forgets.
Below are pictures of sections of the Berlin Wall.
