Walking Wednesday

Beautiful day today. July, yet not too hot. Hanging right around the 80 degree mark.

At work there is a program called 'Walking Wednesdays' which I love. Every Wednesday we go for a walk around the campus. On a day like today its a great break to get and stretch and enjoy the fresh air. One of the many things I love about the new job.

After work my 'Matt Unplugged' concept continued. Off the computer and family time until the kids go to bed. I'm a geek after all so still blog for example but its after kids are asleep.

So today the fun was a walk then a stop at a park very near my house which just got new equipment.

Walk was fantastic. Especially given the weather. Was nice to go on a long walk holding my daughters hand until she got too tired and joined her brother in the stroller.

At the park it was crowded for this particular park. Its small with not much to offer so its usually unoccupied. Today (maybe because of the new equipment) it was bustling with kids. Kate instantly took to some of them and played nicely. Drew went on a 'big boy swing' by himself for the first time, but nearly fell when he let go to wave at people.

Back to the geek I've decided to release some code as open source. Created a GitHub account and will be posted code soon. I've decided to try some 'social good' with my freelancing. Going to be working on some other small projects as well, keep my skills sharp.
