How It Started / How It's Going
Hey, kids! It’s been four months since I’ve written on my newsletter. While I’ve been gone:
I wrote on my blog about relapsing on social media.
I got a promotion at work.
Our family took their first pandemic vacation, absconding to the Colorado mountains for a week of exploring & breathing free.
Zachary returned to physical school (his only option), while Penelope began the year with virtual learning (a poor substitute, but the one which gives us the most peace).
Both kids finally learned to swim, a long-awaited achievement for the entire family!
Zachary got fully-vaccinated against COVID-19.
I was featured in the New York Times.
Zachary fell & chipped a permanent tooth (required a cosmetic procedure), right after losing his final baby tooth.
My media diet marched along:
I watched several movies: First Man, John Wick 3, all three Star Wars prequels, Luca, Bill & Ted Face the Music, and Shazam!
I read some great books and comics: Bravey, Project Hail Mary, The Anthropocene Reviewed, and all six Sweet Tooth graphic novels
A couple limited series podcasts caught my ear: Nixon at War, One Year 1977
And TV ruled my sleepless nights: Ted Lasso, Invincible, For All Mankind, The Queen’s Gambit, Loki, the Summer Olympics, Sports Night
I hope to write more as I return to my normal self. In the meantime, stay safe!
