We’ve been planning and thinking about this topic for a while – in fact we’ve had about 3 years to think about it.  From friends to family to coworkers, how did Covid impact our everyday relationships?  For many people, relationships will never go back to the way they were before the pandemic.  But why?  What caused the relational rift in our society and can we go back?  But first, Erin’s thoughts on Wakanda Forever – the really good parts and an annoying recurrent story line.  We finish up with Aaron’s first pie baking endeavor.
