I was hoping to be strong, and just block out a Christmas without Alexander, by ignoring Christmas completely. My annual excitement of decorating the home and planning menus, upping my gifts from last year to balance out “wants” versus “connection” gifts. It’s always been a precious time spiritual for me regardless of if I was with my family, my son or 12/24th traditions with Chris and Tom. It’s always been transparent that this trip has been a “walkabout”, a chance to take a breathe. On top of that, It’s also been about preparing for the holiday season and building up my emotional strength. I knew I shouldn’t be alone as it would be torturing myself. So I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to visit my parents in Cape Cod, and be with family right now. Knowing I won’t see or speak to Alexander today or tomorrow has been a tough mountain to prepare the climb. For everyone out there that I’ve seen or chatted with since arriving here on 10/16, thank you for the support. Your connections have been the fuel to help me tackle today and tomorrow! So I hope everyone has a happy holiday. And for all of those who will be doing all the cooking for the household, alone, I’m with you there in spirit! And to all those who’s holiday travel plans have been effected by flight cancellations, my best to you. It’s terrible for everyone after the past 2 years. I’m especially thinking about all those single fathers flying to get to see their children for the first time in weeks or months for Christmas, and will end up missing that honor as a parent. Way to kill the buzz, Matt. Enjoy your holidays! Miss ya Chris, Tom and Kathy and the rest of the Graney clan! — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3yUHsHq

Emptied out the LA storage unit after 11 years living outside the US. I found a few great things to keep, all smaller than a show box. This was one of them that I kept as it never made it to digital form. Glad I found it, pal. Miss you. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/33Nh07i

One of my favorite parts of living in Hermosa Beach has always been the sunsets. Really got spoiled every evening living here. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/30ByaU4
@nelmziefl, a coffee/bakery instead of Tom? That would have been nice back in 2005! — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3F9RWF9

#maliadog and I went bouldering today in Joshua Tree National Park, as well as a combined 7-8 miles of hiking. Little jackrabbit is going to sleep well tonight. I haven’t been here since I left LA in 2010, so it’s nice to visit again for a few days. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3GO1xSB

I could not have asked for a better welcome to the city I called home for 6 years! I saw more rainbows today in Los Angeles than I did in those 6 years. Happy Homecoming! — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3yvzep1
Last day in Alaska, as I leave Fairbanks and head to Southern California in an hour. Alaska has been a great experience, visiting in winter for the first time. I can’t wait to come back and take Alexander dog sledding, glacier climbing, and experiencing life here. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3IO7VLC
I tried a thing! Sensory deprivation float! The back story is that when I arrived at the Fairbanks airport, I had 2 hours to kill before checking in at the apartment. I decided to see where there was a wine store so I could get a bottle to nurse while here (no wine delivery option). I search “wine” in Google Maps and “Floatadelic” showed up. I took a look and thought “why not”. Fast forward 3 days and I had my appointment today. It was cool. I got what I expected from it: relaxation and a low-key spiritual experience…like a few phantom sounds and sights like stars. Cross this one of the list. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/33lQ9yR
Hello, everyone in LA! I’ll be in town, in Hermosa Beach, from 12/17-12/21. If anyone is around any fancies a meet up, just ping me! It would be great to see some familiar faces! — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3dJTJF7

Feel free to fly me up here when you need a win, @uafairbanks and @alaskananooks. I’ll be your muse. 1-12 on the season with an 11 game losing streak. Now 2-12 after tonight…so I’ve witnessed 50% of the team wins. Thanks for an enjoyable time. Go Nanooks! — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3IGrchO
