The Bear & the Tiger
David and Yinja Murnan. An engineer and a designer, one very long list of breweries, and a habit of driving four hours for a waterfall.
Cincy-made. Brooklyn denizen by way of Silver Spring. Gay beer drinker, gamer, urbanist and subway rider, with a fear of heights he keeps testing on fire towers.
First wine tasting on the North Fork. First bonfire in Salem. First ballgame at Citi Field. Since then: all five Utah parks in one trip, and the top of the fire tower David won't climb. A fast study.

Pick a state, get a memory.
Everything we have written up is on here somewhere, sorted by the state it happened in. Some of it ends at a waterfall, some of it ends at Skyline Chili.
35 states, DC and Québec so far.
What we have got up to.
Five years, come August 2027.
Which leaves us a while days to add more states, more breweries to be disappointed by, and more waterfalls that are worth the detour. The new ones turn up here first.
From the people who were there.
But most of all, we search to find the person who loves us unconditionally.
But know that the love you share … and David being a traffic engineer, will always get you back on the smooth, smooth road.
… you deserve each other more than anyone in this walk of life.
When you see someone that much in love with a partner, you know you can't let him go.
I feel like I am seeing his most happy and authentic self because of Yinja.
