In episode #24, I'm joined by my wife, Kristen, to talk about the little bit of good, the lots of bad, and the incredibly tragic of the early days of COVID-19.  We reminisce about the amount of time we spent as a family and how we’ll never have that much time together again, educators and families both trying to survive remote learning, having to parent both our children and our parents during the pandemic, the frustration with misinformation and conspiracy theories running amok on social media at the time, fostering a relationship with a family member due to the world slowing down, the selfishness and lack of empathy that was magnified from certain people, wiping down groceries, how COVID accelerated the demise of schools using paper and pencil, and above all…never getting to say goodbye to a parent who died alone but ultimately receiving closure through an incredibly vivid and unexpected way.

A deep, emotional, and difficult conversation, episode #24 is dedicated to the memory of Tony DeMarco, my father in-law.
