Happy Father’s Day to my dad (Ed Betof) and to Shauna’s dad (Rodger Wilson). So thankful that a year after COVID distancing, we can all start getting together again. Top picture was with my dad (at 74 years old) on a 10 mile hike in Tyler State Park a couple weeks ago. Bottom picture was with Rodger walking Cape Ann Golf Course this morning after a 5:45am tee time. A lot to live up to with these two role models in our lives and I’m grateful for it.

Ice cubes in the evening are nice. Ice falling from the sky is not nice. #hailstorm (at Bucks County, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHsmKlD50A/?utm_medium=tumblr
WHAT A DECADE! I love Facebook memories. These pictures of my @uofpenn doctoral commencement showed up on @sbetof and my feed this morning from ten years ago today. Our EMBA cohort's @cornelluniversity commencement was virtual so no regalia for Kayla to borrow this time around. I'm so grateful for my family's support and the amazing group of friends I have from both experiences (plus hopefully some knowledge acquired along the way). @cornellmba @penngse https://www.instagram.com/p/CP_2sUJDY1Y/?utm_medium=tumblr
We are looking forward to @sbetof joining us in Delaware after work today. But in the meantime we enjoyed sharpening up our short game (and some ice cream). Shout out to my dad who shot an 18 on the back 9 holes! (at Shipwrecked Mini Golf & Ice Cream) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP-64PLjTAu/?utm_medium=tumblr
Wish our family was in Ithaca this weekend with my classmates and their families, but I appreciate that @cornellmba will be doing something in person this summer or fall for our cohort. @cornelluniversity @sbetof https://www.instagram.com/p/CPd7iXUDP1_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Good morning! Amazing white 9 hours of sleep, some meditation, and a 5+ mile hilly run or do for you. (Yes, I absolutely stopped at the top of these hills and took these pictures while trying to get air into my lungs) (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPOX-siD-Rr/?utm_medium=tumblr
So glad to be back in San Francisco... although I’m not sure my legs were ready for the #hills on my morning run. (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPGSQBbjVBr/?utm_medium=tumblr
Amazing what a couple doses of Pfizer vaccine can do. Voting in November 2020 vs May 2021. Let’s keep getting people vaccinated so the next time we cast a ballot you’ll be able to see the smiles on our faces. #ElectionDay @sbetof (at Bucks County, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPCfV7nDdtk/?utm_medium=tumblr
