This goofball has brought so much joy, a ton of chaos and even more hair into my life.

2026-03-11

I always love visiting the kids in Wisconsin but it was extra special to be part of the first communion of the second godson. I’ve been blessed to know Sam from birth and am impressed by the human he’s turning out to be.

45 was about finding peace. 46 is about seeing this incredible world through a fresh perspective. It’s about loved ones. And one loved one! It’s about continuing to orient myself towards peace… …and finding joy in the small, mundane things like walks around the park. It’s about reading glasses (seriously?!) and more gray hairs. It’s about the jungle and the beach and missing the corn fields, but not the snow. It’s about stuttering my way through a new language and being called “Aarón” more often than “Aaron.” It’s about starting new things, and clearing out the old. And it’s about wondering in gratitude, “how the heck did I end up here?”

“Beginnings always hide themselves in ends.” — @mikeposner Three years ago this week, I came home to learn my five-year relationship was over. I was devastated, in shock, unable to feel anything. Not knowing what to do, I hopped on a plane to Wisconsin and sought solace with dear friends who graciously invited me to spend Christmas and New Years with them in Costa Rica. That trip led to another trip which led to buying a vacation home which led to me moving to Costa Rica earlier this year. Now I’m investing in a business in Costa Rica and dreaming about producing a couple of TV/movie projects here – all with a dear friend. I am surrounded by friends, love and a beautiful (yet still messy) life. If you would have asked me on that painful day where I’d be on November 29, 2022, I wouldn’t have been able to dream of the love-filled place I am today. (And I certainly wouldn't have predicted the difficulties of grieving and healing during a pandemic!) Had I not visited those Wisconsin friends or agreed to go on that first trip to Costa Rica, who knows where I'd be? Sure, it might be just as beautiful, but I'm happy this is my new beginning.

🦥 Three months ago, I flew from the United States to Costa Rica to start the next chapter of my life. 🏝 Here I’ve found so much peace and joy, made new friends, reconnected with friends from the US who also live here now, consumed a ton of beans and rice, celebrated three festivals, explored new beaches and mountains, moved into a new apartment in the city, and placed an order for a car. I’m excited to see what the next 3 months bring! Pura vida! 🇨🇷

🚨 Life Update: He estado viviendo en la playa, pero el 1 de agosto también estaré en Rohrmoser, para estar en la ciudad y poder hacer amigos y mejorar mi español. I have been living at the beach but on August 1 I will also be in Rohrmoser, San Jose, Costa Rica, to be in the city so I can make friends and improve my Spanish.

2022-07-08

Every morning, I curse the birds for waking me up at 4:30am and then I go to the beach and thank them for this moment.

Night swims are my new favorite. Who needs Netflix when you have this?

When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of distress and anxiety… if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without any pain, from this, I understand that what I want also wants me, and is looking for me and attracting me, there’s a great secret in this for all who can grasp it. - Rumi

44. Forty-three was perhaps the toughest year of my life. Heartbreak, transition, moving, COVID — all the things. And yet I survived. I learned to settle into this new life, to become resilient, to take care of myself, to be content without others. My hope and prayer for 44 is that I thrive, that I learn to be more present and breathe.

My first, and likely last, day as a Lime Juicer. I “harvested” these bikes from the street, charge them overnight and then place them back out by 7am for $9/scooter. So far, it has taken me about an hour to collect 3. The math doesn’t work.

Leaving Ixtapa and heading home. We had a wonderful trip to Mexico and are already making plans to return in April. Ixtapa was a rather big let down. The town itself isn’t worth visiting (an American tourist was gunned down near our hotel right before we arrived) and the resort where we stayed was the worst I’ve ever experienced, but we had a memorable trip hanging with the niece/nephews, @snfettig, @sjfettig, @grandmafettig and the rest of the Fettig crew. Grateful for our time together, and now eager to get back to launch three major new things in 2018!

So so many bad Instagram ads these days. I'd say 3/4 ads I see have this problem -- they don't tell you what they're selling. In this example, does this company sell boxes (as pictured here)? Instagram should worry about this... someday marketing budgets aren't going to allow for such sloppy spends.

2014-10-24

Pet store guarantees this line of plush toys to be chew free for 48 hours. I laughed and said they haven't met Jasper. Took him about 24 hours but only because he was preoccupied with other things.

Great run around the Akasaka Palace.

2014-09-15

My suitcase comes out and Jasper does everything he can to prevent me from leaving.

2014-09-13

Great gift for anyone in Colorado.

2014-09-10

I've turned into that crazy old man who buys things online, forgets about it and then has no idea what packages he's opening.

Now that I have an all-black interior, I'm considering trading Jasper in for a black lab. #haireverywhere

2014-09-09

Jasper didn't like his bed against the window so he moved it yet still continues to look out the window.

This can't be right but it sure feels like it.

Jasper is such a sun seeker. He wouldn't come when called and growled at me softly when I grabbed him by the collar to come back inside.

2014-05-28

"Really authentic" leads me to believe Tom needs to hire better translators or this isn't an actual authentic Tom Ford product.

Kicking butt and taking names in 2014.

2014-01-06

Came home to find a new furball of a roommate. It should be interesting to see how Jasper handles this when he comes home tomorrow.

2014-01-06

A favorite. Thanks to Colin and Jeff for a great birthday dinner.

Doctor "Crazy Hair" Caroline is examining me. She says the prognosis isn't good.

Four symbols I would agree with... But my approach to all four is likely so different than this driver that he and I would vehemently disagree on all four. And I'd never put a bumper sticker like this on my car.

Good shot from last night's Third Eye Blind concert.

2013-12-07

Signed by the band themselves.

Until now, I've had birthday gifts shipped direct from store to my nieces. Uncle Aaron is going to try to hand mail them from now on. This sleeping bag is off to Princess Caroline on her 4th birthday.

To those not living in Colorado, you're missing out!

Beautiful mid century modern.

Indoor/outdoor living at its best. A garage door on the roof! The views were incredible.

This dog seeks out the sun. I'm surprised he hasn't moved to Florida in his old age.

I believe in creating my own destiny, so I always get three fortune cookies and pick which one I'll work towards.

2013-10-08

Picked up Jasper after a week away!

2013-10-08

Expired canned goods. Any idea what I could do with them?

Jasper has been busy "burying" his treats all over the house, in preparation for winter. Because, you know, the food supply dwindles as it gets colder.

2013-09-16

When you demand to go out in the rain, you have to stay outside until you do your business.

2013-09-15

Someone is in a bad mood.

2013-09-15

Can I pull off the beard + shaved head look?

2013-09-15

Here we go again.

2013-09-14

So much water

2013-09-12

This dog doesn't understand why he can't go outside without getting wet.

2013-09-12

Considering glasses. What do you think of these from @warbyparker?

2013-09-10

After a week and a half away, Jasper is finally home again. All is right in the world.

2013-09-09

Someone doesn't like my neighbors. Wow.

2013-09-08

Suddenly my house feels very small.

2013-09-06

Go Broncos!

Which one is Sara and which one is Tegan?

2013-08-22

Goodbye, Provincetown.
