We're back with regular episodes! I've been reading again this week, and it feels good to read for pleasure again, something I haven't done too much of this year. I've been thinking a lot about something my undergraduate advisor said to me shortly before I graduated, and that's what this essay is about.

I've been thinking about trees recently as I've watched the leaves change. I've had a front row seat to the changing season while working for a handyman with a masters in horticulture. There's a disease ravaging the ash trees in the Midwest, just as Covid is ravaging the people of Wisconsin.
