I Missed Thursday and Friday

I missed two days this week.

Blogging is Hard, Part Deux.

Saw 1917 last night. Pretty amazing movie, but emotionally exhausting. I will probably just watch cartoons today in order to recover.

Kidding. I’m writing today.

Have a good weekend.

“I'd forced books on my kids from the day they were born and, as it turned out, it had been completely unnecessary because all of them liked to read. Or maybe they liked to read because I'd read aloud nearly every children's book in print.”
