This week, we talk about playing poker badly, and then suddenly very well, this evening.  We share about visiting with friends (which left us joyful and also completely wiped out).  Then, we talk about an event with our daughter during the week that is leaving us with some uncertainty.

This week, we talk about our crustless, burnt San Sebastian Cheesecake celebrating the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul (actually, yum!).  We discuss our upcoming 75% reduction in children at home, and predictions about how much our Pre-K child is about to scream when being left in the company of cheerful masked strangers.  Then, Dale gets into the details when it comes to architecture and spaces, and how they change our response in them.

This week, we share our stories battling vampires who want our blood (and will tell us if the COVID antibodies in our blood are still good, which means we can help other vampires recover from COVID faster), including a new fun-phrase called "vasovagal response."  Then, with the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade approaching, we share how we talk to our kids about abortion.
