Wildfires are currently burning across the Los Angeles County area. Schools are closed. Friends have lost homes. Family has been evacuated. I've packed and unpacked the car as there was a fire less than two miles from me. Natascha has been without power for 48 hours.

It's a lot.

In the midst of this, life goes on, and on today's episode I talk about what I've been thinking, feeling, and doing. I also explain my thought process behind packing for evacuation.
