Good morning from another Monday — and a new month. I hope this week brings you continued health and high spirits, even amidst the ongoing uncertainty.
I’ll be spending today, and the majority of this week, tweaking the upcoming podcast series and working on some preliminary documentary work. I’m excited about the potential that a new month has in store.
But for now, the news.
