It’s that time again—another month in the books. Here was my November 2025 in 10 photos:

A medical examination room features an exam table with a step stool, a window with blinds, and a beige brick accent wall.

More cardiology appointments, and hopefully, a long-term solution on its way: I’m set for ablation surgery in mid-December. I can’t wait to get back to normal.

A desert landscape features rugged mountains, scattered cacti, and sparse vegetation under a clear blue sky.

A birthday walk in the mountains, after finally getting the go-ahead to do some light hiking. Boy did I need some time on dirt!

A person is sitting at a wooden table in a bustling bar, sipping a large mug of beer.

And a big ass birthday beer pour at AZ Wilderness Brewing. I’ve never made it down for this special 52 ounce pour reserved for one’s birthday, so it was fun to finally do it, especially with several friends.

A decorative plate with a floral fall theme and the words Give Thanks is placed on a granite surface, accompanied by a plastic fork and knife.

Friendsgiving - an annual event with some good friends.

A football game is reflected in a person's sunglasses while they watch the match.

ASU Football, as seen through Becci’s glasses. I think this marks 12 years that she’s been on my season ticket account.

A person wearing sunglasses sits at an outdoor table with two coffee cups in front of a café featuring a logo that says Whereubean Coffee.

Coffeeneuring with Jen

A blue electric bike is parked in a living room in front of a television displaying a football game.

More ebike adjustments and accessories, this time while watching some football after finally getting a working antenna for our tv. Long live free broadcast television!

A collection of electrical components and connectors with multicolored wires are attached to a metallic structure.

I managed to diagnose and fix our broken washing machine!

A man and a woman are smiling outside a building with a reflection visible in the glass doors behind them.

Visited with my mom several times this month, including this coffeeneuring stop. We also hosted her for Thanksgiving dinner.

A group of people wearing maroon and gold-themed clothing pose together, some making hand signs, in an outdoor setting.

Pregame tailgating, as I completed my 39th year as an ASU season ticket holder. Our team was held together with duct tape this year, but it was fun to spend pre- and post-game with these folks (and a number of others not in the photo).
