The Ten Day Work Trip
[COVID Day Five Hundred Seventy] I finally packed. The day of the flight. And I made the flight.

You’ve Been BOO-ED!
[COVID Day Five Hundred Sixty Two] This is one of the very first oh so American activities I totally signed First Minion up for as soon as the sign up sheet went round – during the month of October, kids in each grade get a surprise Halloween bucket full of treats – and since I…

Escape Room: Schrödingers Cat
[COVID Day Five Hundred Sixty One] I seriously can’t believe this but this is my first escape room stream in America. And I haven’t done an escape room / game night in months.

Because You Mentioned It Enough…
[COVID Day Five Hundred Fifty Nine] I’m listening, I’m just sometimes s l o w. I’ve switched the subtitle to remove ‘Dutch Lockdown’ because not only am I not living in the Netherlands anymore, but … there’s no lockdown either.
