What's a /now page? I update mine regularly. Last updated on Dec 9, 2025.

CDMX
My friend Jack invited me to Mexico City, a somewhat spontaneous trip he'd planned for mid-November. We stayed at a hostel (obviously) and picked different neighborhoods to explore each day.
One of the highlights for me, aside from the incredible Mexican cuisine in every direction, was sampling local fruits like papaya and cherimoya and sharing them with hostel friends. The "custard fruit" is another name for the cherimoya, due to its sweet and creamy white flesh. I first discovered this amazing fruit in Granada, Spain in 2023.
The endless sprawling tent city of La Merced Market is the largest collection of vendors in all of CDMX. It's so big that there's a metro stop inside the market! Aside from cars and furniture, nearly every product imaginable is available here.
Honey bees swim around the local sugary sweets as they're bagged up for each customer, and nobody seems to mind the buzzing. Need a new pet or your next meal? Trade some pesos for a live animal, and take it home on the train.
You'd think Santa's workshop was located here, with Christmas decor and toys around nearly every corner. But the best part? Our hostel host had us sample local bug cuisine. Crickets, fat ants, worms and tiny prawns. Protein!
What I'm reading
I sped through The Lord of the Rings series in eight weeks. What a joy that was, my first time reading it. I've now been brought back into the world of fantasy after an eight-year break from the genre.
I'm considering Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time saga next. It's a daunting task with 14 books at about 800 pages each. Probably best to just read the first book before I commit to the entire series.
But before that, I'm reading a gift from my mom, Theo of Golden. Her book club introduced her to this novel that she now says is one of her all-time favorites.

Denver's first snow
When I moved to Colorado this summer, everyone told me it would snow in the city come Halloween. First snow, Oct 31, they said. Wrong! More than a month late, we finally got about half a foot on Dec 3.
Why is this breaking news, you might be wondering? Because I moved here from Tennessee, and snow is not common, and when it comes it's a big deal. I cleared the snow off my truck and drove around the city to conquer my fear of snowy roads. I think it helped? (just a joke)
Before I moved to Denver, as we were pondering activities for us to do here, my girlfriend wrote in my notes, "Teach Logie to ski!" I'm mentally preparing myself now to hit the slopes for the first time since my freshman year of high school. Wish me luck!
