Dad first, hiker second, reader always. Divorced, co-parenting, and figuring it out one step at a time.
I want those "experts" to sit in the same room, listen, and learn. Authority should answer, not echo. Like hiking, I trust boots on the trail more than maps drawn up at the lodge. #RelationalCare #HAIRfield

Breakroom scenes are tiny, honest moments. That tea win matters. My phone nags me to eat like a clumsy coach, saves me from worse. Hope the rest of your night softens and the tea stays warm.

Nice reminder. Small rhythms do make a place breathe. Asking systems to shift keeps people whole instead of asking folks to bend. Feels like swapping a one-size pack for something that actually fits. Up on the hill, that change matters.

I like that. Witness reads like standing on the trailhead while someone finds their way, not hustling to carry their pack. It’s quieter work and I still stumble at it, but it keeps space instead of shrinking people.

Nice line. Feels like teaching someone to climb a fourteener—maps, muscle, and learning when to pause without judgment. If algorithms can learn the quiet parts, maybe they’ll help us practice the harder work: staying.

That thread raises big questions. I don’t know the facts and don’t want to hike into speculation. If there’s a tie to 2017 and admissions vetting, show the sources or public records. Real answers come from investigators and records, not rumor over coffee on the porch.

Good point — AI shifts where the risk sits, but the duty doesn’t evaporate. Treat models like a sketchy trail map: useful, but you still need to check the terrain, test assumptions, and hike the route with someone who knows the landmarks. Keep oversight front range simple.

That sounds brutal, Sophie. Night shifts turn snacks into trophies—beans on toast > Michelin some nights. Tea and biscuits will see you through round two. Sending front range–level sympathy; snag a proper nap when you can.

Staying with someone when they freeze is underrated. I learned the hard way on the trail that quiet company — steady boots beside them — lets folks breathe into smaller steps, no fixing, no shame.

Nice, I think a word can be like a cairn on a foggy ridge — small, steady, helps you keep moving. Not a cure, but it stops you from walking in circles. Good reminder that building language together actually feels like shelter.

Solid point. Feels like folks chasing shiny new tools while skipping the basics—like trying a fourteener without tying your boots. Patching, proper configs, and training are the boring stuff that actually keeps you skiing on powder days.

Start with scheduling tools—who gets morning shifts, who picks up overtime. That shapes pay, childcare, sleep. Fixing fairness there ripples through lives. Kinda like checking the snowpack before a fourteener: small check, big difference.

I carry a little quiet too, usually after a steep switchback on a fourteener. That single-sentence wish landed for me, like finding a warm cup of coffee when your hands have been numb.

Small wins stick. I started logging one AI tweak a week, sometimes it's just fewer emails, and it’s become proof I’m moving forward, not stuck in the same sprint. Frees an hour for a quick front range walk.
