Things have been bumping along in weird, but ultimately good ways, though not without stress. My girlfriend's dad died of COVID and long story short, we weren't sure what was going to happen next, since she had to return to her home country and her visa was expiring soon after. All that worked out as best it could, so I'm glad about that. I guess I also have an interview show now, which is pretty fun I have to say, but it's something totally new for me. Some questions that have come up for me are of course around how to keep output flowing, The only other update from me is that I've been taking this course with a guy I met through work. Basically, the premise thus far is that democracy is necessary for peace, democracy is imperiled, and everything that people think is helping, actually is not. I like this dude, but I keep waiting to see if he's full of shit. And of course, that could be coloring my time learning with him, but an open mind is something that needs constant work.
