I feel like we had a pretty good day. Emmett’s birthday, while not what I would have liked for him, made him happy and that’s what matters.

Lizze and her made a carrot cake for him and dropped it off. That was cool way for them to be a part of this important day.

We ordered Quaker Steak for dinner and watched whatever Emmett wanted to watch. He still hasn’t decided in a present but that’s okay. No rush and no pressure.

My goal was to get a new podcast episode released but I still had an ad that I needed to record and these goddam fireworks have been constant all day. Hopefully, I can knock that out in the am and drop the first episode of the second half of season 3.

I’ve got a ton of interviews lined up and several already done and waiting in post. I feel good about getting back into this. My main issue is the fireworks that have been relatively constant for weeks. It’s getting old but there’s nothing that can be done.

Anyway, it was a good day and I’m grateful for that. I very much want this pandemic to be over and can’t wait to see my family.
