Welp, I’ll just be here in the kitchen making the fun recipe that came in the package for the kids this month, as per our daughter’s request, while she takes a pass after all.
Will I be playing Dawn of Chromatica in the kitchen regardless of volume and possible impact on cartoon enjoyment in the other room? Me? I am aghast at the very question!
Update: we are actually cooking together now, and it is lovely, but she has requested a break to “bleach [her] eyes” after watching me dance to “Free Woman.”
We switched to Dua Lipa, and she went over to turn up the volume on “Levitating,” and it was a major “atta girl” parenting moment for me.

Getting ready to go in to a school board meeting to speak in favor of mask mandates. Wish me luck!
Thanks for all the good thoughts and kind comments. I am profoundly grateful and relieved to report that the superintendent recommended and the board approved a mask mandate. I was glad to speak in favor, but the decision came before public comment, so I get no credit!
First of all, the Iraq War was built on lies, so any comparison to school closings is vile.
Second, do you think pediatricians ~want~ school closings? Do you think we are oblivious to the harms we confront in our patients every goddamn workday?
