After six or so weeks, I am back at the podcasting thing. And the running thing, too.

It's been a nice break but I'm glad to be back. I have pretty much restarted running from scratch. (Like, I'm in a 10K walk-run training group.) It's humbling but necessary. I've been dealing with some aggravations in the hip and lower back but am trying to ease myself into it.

Oh, and there is talk of my YOLO summer, which involved seeing Orville Peck with my sister and a return to Florida mid-July to reconnect with some former colleagues.

And, I am continuing to work on my new podcast, "Sitting at the Kids' Table," which may also be released as a book.

So, I've been busy.

Welcome to season 6!
