Memorial Day in Quarantine
We spent a lot of time pondering if we should go away for Memorial Day. Zack wanted to go to Moab for my Spring Break (in April) and has been dreaming about getting away in the Holm Away From Holm ever since. He has worked hard at healing his knee and wanted to mountain bike …

Q life
I've been listening to more non political podcasts lately and I really enjoy Staying In and they have taken to calling this time The Weirds. NPR has a new newsletter called the New Normal, which I don't love either. I think Joe House on The Ringer called it Q time, which works double time for …

Non knee related outings!
This weekend we had only non-knee, non-medical outings. It was really fun! Saturday morning, I went for a run. In the early afternoon, we did done errands. If you look carefully through the deck railing, you can see Molly watching for Zack. 1st stop. Psychedelic 🚙 wash. Zack requested a Schwarmageddon gyro. After Schwarmageddon, we …
