I ordered Claire an [e-bike][1] thinking it might arrive before her birthday mid-May, but it showed up just a few days later. It's been a blast taking Nevie to the museum and around town. We also ran the Tar Heel 10 Miler last weekend. Super fun, and I did better than I expected to based on my training ([result][2], [certificate][3]) -- there's something about an organized race that just gives that extra push I guess.

We finished off the closet project -- building the second unit was a lot quicker than the first, since I really just had to scale up the existing plans. Then it was a matter of adding the connecting rod and shelf. I think it turned out great, though I'd like to improve at building drawers. Here are some before and after shots (courtesy of Claire):

Other life updates: we had a big work retreat at the beginning of the month at the [Tides Inn][1], which was incredible. I celebrated 15 years (15!) with the company, and received a [scooter][2] as a gift. This thing is rad -- I've been really happy with the e-bike, but it's nice to have a smaller option for quick trips to the office or corner store.

It was a busy month, sometimes overly so, but having so many unique experiences had this odd effect of slowing and expanding time, which is the opposite of how things tend to go as you get older ([good short piece along the same lines][2]). Most everything else fell by the wayside, but that's OK -- these were all awesome experiences, and I'm excited for a (relatively) quiet July.

Tech-wise, I switched from Vim to [Helix][2], which I've detailed [over here][3]. I was also able to work through a whole bunch of the [Go track on Exercism][4] -- it's a good way to get a handle on the basics of a language, but doesn't cover using third-party packages, organizing large codebases, etc. To get that kind of experience, I'm going to try my hand at an app for fantasy sports drafts -- take a set of player projections and a scoring formula, and output a UI I can use during a live online draft. I've been doing this with spreadsheets for years, and it's pretty cumbersome. I'm going to use TOML for configuration, SQLite for data persistence, and [Bubble Tea][5] for the UI itself. We'll see how it goes!

The following weekend, we headed up to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware to spend the week with my family. It's different than the North Carolina beaches we're used to as there's a lot to do around the town (boardwalk, parks & playgrounds, [indoor amusement park][1]). We brought our bikes and took a ride on the [Gordons Pond Trail][2], which was rad.

The first, the fantasy draft <abbr title="text-based user interface">TUI</abbr> app [I mentioned last month][10], came together well and quickly. It was straightforward to set up TOML for configuration, SQLite for data persistence, and [Bubble Tea][11] for the UI. Bubble Tea's super cool -- you pull in your widgets (two in my case, for a table view and a search box), and you can respond to keypresses or let the widgets handle them. As a result, my UI has Vim keybindings without me doing anything, which was super handy during the draft.
