Before anyone accuses me of mailing this one in, I’ll just tell you I’m mailing it in. This will be a series of brief topics rather than one or two deep dives, as I’m trying to get a few things wrapped up before Thanksgiving break gets started. On that note, I got an early start on the holiday festivities by watching the 1st grade balloon parade this morning at the local elementary school where I volunteer as a reading mentor.
That was about as far removed from doom scrolling as possible, and it felt good to clap and smile as the kids went down the hall.
