I spent the last two months exploring the country and the last two weeks in near quarantine.

Going outside is an important part of me maintaining my sanity and I know the same goes for others. If we lose that ability we’re really screwed.

While these days seem endless, we’ll soon enough be looking back on them, amazed at how much time has passed.

Space Jam, croquet, yard work, and hanging out with my best friends (on Google).

We’re all in this together, but the strength of our relationships will be tested. And I’m already losing track of days.

I’m grateful for the warmer days and the colorful flowers that already dot the city streets. The weather here is making it all a little bit better.

After six weeks of being on the road it feels so nice to settle in somewhere, especially during these trying times.

Today is our nephew Jack’s birthday and we weren’t going to let the chaos of the world rain on his parade. Even though he couldn’t celebrate his birthday the way he wanted to he gets it, and he’s only nine.

When you can’t fall asleep until 3am and you wake up to realize the sky is falling and there’s no coffee maker. WTF is this real life?

I write this on the heels of what to date is the most surreal week of my life. After weeks of coronavirus threatening our country and taking its toll elsewhere in the world, it’s now sinking its teeth deeper into our society and we are soooo not ready for it.
