You must be doing something right.

That's so valid. I'm worried and planning a big garden this year but also looking forward to how beneficial working in the dirt and manual labor will be for my mental health.

Girl, get an agent!

Just listened to your latest episode. I'm so glad you're back and that your world is starting to return to normal. I missed you!

I always thought this was revolutionary business. Glad to see it get some validation.

Knowledge is powerful my friend. You just wait. You're next move is to level up.

Look at what Stalin did when he took power. He literally starved and murdered like a third of the population. "Beat them into submission" is a classic in the dictator play book.

You taking a break from podcasts? Only on certain platforms? I'm missing your stories on my drives to work!

For now I'm cautiously sitting in the background watching my gardening videos.

My favorite board games for two (but they aren't narrative):
Boop- a cross between chess and tic tac toe, but with cats!
Patchwork- build your board a piece at a time, much like tetris
Forbidden island- a cooperative adventure where you have to find the treasure and escape before the island sinks

Maybe for the same reason people say "hi, how are you?" but don't really want you to answer the question.
