This weekend is the full moon and in February it's called the snow moon... the last full moon of winter... my two favourite things: the moon and snow!

So, let's talk about other people. It's been a year since we've been pulled apart from some people and locked up with other ones.

Let's talk about how we feel about other people now...a year in.

I have been pondering plexiglass. All those rectangles separating us from the rest of the world. It's got to have an effect. Like a window - those plexiglass sheets put a frame around our daily outings into the world. Is it changing us?

I've been looking for a measured, middle way to get through this pandemic...and I believe moderation will help me see it through.
