Hello, happy Sunday! I hope you’re well. Personally, I’m enjoying the dropping temperatures and the feeling that this year will soon be over. My current anthem is “This Year” by The Mountain Goats, and it feels true: I will make it through this year if it kills me.

Maybe you’re ready to embrace...

Friends, hi good morning and a very chill Sunday to you!
