How about it, friends? Summer 2020 is the weirdest summer ever, hands down, no? Oof. Three cheers to all of you who are thriving during these bizarre days! Carrie and I have agreed we’re both more just surviving–while burrowing in with our books clinging to what shreds of sanity we can find amidst the chaos. […]

Dude, I have been cranking through the books!
