What to do when you want to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge but it’s raining? Go anyway. We were really wet by the time we got to the other side. Shoes squishing with water wet. Was it worth it? Probably. ☔️
We took the F Train to Brooklyn and had an awesome brunch with Greg and his family. Greg and I met as freshman roommates at the University of Minnesota and became fast friends. It was the first time we were able to get our entire families together, and first I had seen him since 2018.
I tried several times earlier to participate in the (historic?) Ethereum KZG Ceremony but was never able to get in because so many people were queued up to do it. The demand died down and thingelstad.eth was contributor 91,614 in the ceremony.

Seeing Bono’s “Surrender” at the Beacon Theater tonight was one of the most engaging performances I’ve ever seen. Two hours with Bono sharing stories of U2, his youth, and mixed with powerful and inimate performances of U2 songs. Incredible and magical. ✨
It is weird to me that I’ve been to Manhattan hundreds of times over the years, but I’ve never really gone into Central Park at all. We decided to walk from our hotel up and through Central Park to the Beacon Theatre to see Bono and it was so cool to explore a bit of the park.
Ran into the Incredible Hulk at the LEGO Store on 5th Avenue. This place was great. We wanted to do more stuff than we had time.
Mazie and Tyler lit prayer candles for my Grandpa Ardell and Grandma Rose at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
We were passing St. Patrick’s Cathedral and decided to go in and look around. It is was an amazing place to visit. It left us all a bit awe struck.
Catching NJ Transit from Newark to NY Penn Station.
