We spent my birthday weekend in Norfolk, an area in east England. We talk about the trip, our disastrous hike in Norfolk, what it means to be 28, and Simone Biles pulling out of the Olympics.

It's a mess over in Tokyo-- more Olympics controversy over composer Keigo Oyamada's bullying past, last-minute cancellation talks, sponsorships falling through...

The UK isn't doing much better. 'Freedom Day' drew hundreds of people to the club, hundreds of thousands of people (including us) are getting 'pinged' by the NHS to self-isolate, and we most likely will not be able to travel to the U.S. in August as we planned.
