@joshelman The craziest part for me was manually writing down the mailing address of one large institution and sending it to the other.
They know who each other are, but the way we move money is hope my penmanship is legible. Loco!

@gregdistelhorst you're such a trend setter

@jcoplen @jcoplen Do you use it on airplane flights where you need to type? Do you like it?

[Quinn Hawkins @qhawk]

I haven't bought a laptop since I started working 18 years ago. Any recommendations?

[Quinn Hawkins @qhawk]

@jcoplen Thanks @jcoplen! I think I just want to PC with a touch screen for general use. I've looked at the surface a little bit.

Last-minute grocery store run? Embrace your inner salmon:

- Grow a hooked jaw with sharp teeth

- Relentlessly pursue your mission despite actively decaying
- Realize if it weren't for you, the entire ecosystem/holiday would fall apart

In summary:

(1) Family time is limited—cherish it.

(2) Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones.

(3) Partner time is significant—never settle.

(4) Children time is precious—be present.

(5) Coworker time is significant—find energy.

(6) Alone time is highest—love yourself.

@The_Tim I always felt like a little piece of Redfin was missing while you were gone and was so happy when you came back. Sorry for the loss. I'm having a funeral wake with some RedfinNow folks next Saturday night. Let me know if you feel like come out.
