Weekend coffee #185.

As summer wizzes by, I’m watching cautiously as cases tick up, wondering what will happen come fall. Turns out anxiety abounds when living through a pandemic. Cheerful, I know, but tough to shake that it’s not over yet, regardless of my own vaccination status. Despite all that, I’ve been continuing my intentional practice of leaving the house more often than I did PC. This week that meant playing our first show back Sunday night (though admittedly not my finest), going to a show Tuesday night and wandering the West Village on Thursday night and eating at I Sodi. Otherwise, here’s what else is happening:

• The Richest Babysitter in the World: A Short Story

• Jason Sudeikis Is Having One Hell of a Year

• A Love Letter to the Hopeless Bad Girls of '90s Teen Soaps, Who Never Got the Stories They Deserved

• Watch: John Oliver Loves Octopuses

• The perfect job - Director of Taco Relations

• Currently reading: The stack of magazines I’m behind on.

• Currently watching: My cousin-in-law’s appearance on Shark Academy.

That’s all for now. Until next time - thanks for following along and be well.
