Good morning! How was your weekend? Mine was really great — some work, a lot of time with my niece, and a bottle of fantastic wine split with my sister. I’ve loved my time here; it’s been a true silver lining amidst the pandemic.
Today, I’m enjoying my last day in Northern California before I drive across the country to Georgia for more dedicated work time. (A full update coming tomorrow! Stay tuned.) For now, I wanted to share some of the most interesting articles I’ve read from around the internet this week. Just a little something to kick off your Monday morning.
Happy reading!
