Ooh, I am now looking forward to pictures from a Laura and Steph Cincy F2F!

I hope we can make it happen. I should be in Ohio on the 24th. I'll have Skinner with me, so maybe a F2F at a dog park.

I'm very worried about this weekend. There should be massive protests across the nation for so many reasons, but this also plays right into the orange blight's hand as he proves that the cities are out of control, and he must wield his mighty military to quell the lawlessness.

I continue to be torn between hitting the streets or going offline. Frankly, I am not going to hit the streets when it is in the 90s with added high humidity because I'm a fragile lightweight. It is a struggle to continue to read my newsletters, or even worse, watch the news. I'm so grateful for those who are protesting this weekend and worry so for their safety.

What can the troops be thinking? They can't speak on record, but this can't be what they signed up for.

Okay, more coffee and less rage.

My schedule is generally super flexible, so I can almost certainly make it work. I can also meet you between here and Enon, or come up to Enon (we regularly drive an hour for a lot of family stuff, so that's no big deal). Whatever works best for you!

It will happen. You'll like my sister, Mona; she's one of us! And of course, Skinner is very sociable.

We were supposed to train up meet up with friends to see a Phillies game this afternoon and I’ve got a cold and am feeling crappy so Bob went without me and I’m feeling sorry for myself.

I did get the Wordle in 2, though

Gentle pats, lisah. I wish I could teleport you some of the soup I made last night.

DH had basketball, so I was on my own for dinner, which means I made funky Laura soup. Pumpkin, lentils, shredded coconut, a bunch of curry and garlic, and a bag of spinach. It came out so good! When Brendon got home he smelled it and it is mostly gone now. I think he only left a bit in the pan so he wouldn't have to wash it.

Aw, lisah, that's a big bummer! I'm sorry you're feeling crappy and forlorn.

lisah, if it helps, I say you made the right decision.

One of my online prostate cancer support groups held a national meetup this weekend, at a retreat facility about thirty minutes drive away. I didn't sign up for the full three days, but I did go make a short visit on Saturday. Spent a couple hours outdoors talking and laughing and watching a group play a cornhole tournament. Shook a lot of hands. Actually got a little sunburn, to my surprise.

Now half a dozen of them report they have tested positive for Covid. Sigh. It will be another few days before I know whether I caught it too.

I also would have been miserable sitting in the sun for hours.

That soup sounds delicious, Laura!!! Right up my alley.
