I guess it was kind of an unorthodox spring weather weekend, but I hope that didn’t stop you from standing out in the winter hurricane and grilling up some bratwurst. There’s nothing better—after the end of a long, distanced winter—than staying inside and not seeing anyone for the holiday weekend, and I hope you took full advantage. But don’t worry, there will be beautiful weekends in our future, plenty of time to jump into a giant pool filled with coconut milk and run through the tall grass of joy and presence. Hopefully. I’m just returning from a trip during which I tried to ride an e-bike for the first time and ended up in urgent care, so needless to say I am ready to rock ‘n’ roll. As usual, today’s headlines are a magical music box of wondrous topical melodies. From Tex-Mex barbecue to the Grand Canyon to concerts to food deals to Father’s Day. Wowie. Zowie. I have to go change my bandages and check the weather. I am proud of each and every one of you. I love all my readers equally.
