Five things that made me happy today:

1. About once a week I like to post on Senator Ted Cruz’s wall, publicly, in response to some nonsense he is espousing. Today it’s about CRT and I know a few things to say and some big words to use.

2. A favorite series of mine (Atypical) has a new series. I’m going to dip in to a few shows before bedtime.

3. Max and Mañin Soto started working out at the gym yesterday. Max is so fired up that he went tonight without his dad. That is truly a first for him!

4. Ruby is decorating her new room (after last week’s moves) and we are improv-ing a desk (after Ikea is sold out on the model she wanted) with some drawers and a hollow core door. I still know how to live like a college student.

5. Zoom has really made it possible to talk to small groups of friends way more often than I ever did pre-Covid. Two calls scheduled today. And I don’t have to leave the house or get dressed below chest level. With people I love. At my kitchen table.

I’d love to hear what made you happy today.

Keep going.
