Happy Thanksgiving

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
- Ferris Bueller

This was a year of loss. Considering everything that happened (losing a family member, progress at work, freedom, the ability to live my life), it is amazing how much I have to be thankful for. My friends, family and more. It’s really incredible how great things are in the world. I’m glad to take a day and really reflect on that.

Our covid times :-)

"Everybody Has It"

I work with a 19 year old. He decided to forego a year of college and work full-time with our Onward team. He told us yesterday that every single person he knows that’s his age that went to college has gotten COVID. Every single one. He estimates it’s 30-50 people. These are highly intelligent kids.

He says that the younger generation doesn’t fear COVID but instead want to just get it, get the antibodies, and get past it so they can socialize and get on with their lives.

This blew my mind. While it’s irresponsible as it endangers everyone - especially those who are high-risk, it’s also understandable. When you’re young you optimize your life for hanging out with others.

Maradona

For the soccer fans out there, we lost a legend yesterday. Maradona was an icon. The Michael Jordan of his day. He put Argentina on his back and carreid them to a World Cup win in 1986 and also crushed the Italian league. I remember watching him over and over again as a kid. He was incredible (video of top 10 goals).

Diego Maradona RIP. Sports Greatest Rebel. A man whose career was built on brilliance, blurred boundaries, and spectacular overindulgence. Few have used a World Cup to enthrall the planet and self-destruct in equal measure. We will never see his like again 🇦🇷 🙏

When I tell people I'm planning a lot of travel this weekend, they tend to get a little angry... until I explain with a wink that all my travels will be through the magic of literature. Then they get furious.

College all over again:

Lisa Wehden @LisaWehden

In many ways, WFH feels like going back to college. Working 10-12 hour days locked in your room and only leaving to eat takeout pizza and attempting to answer existential questions with your roommate.

This is how I feel over here. This one’s for you Sasha:

Pretty excited about making a huge Thanksgiving feast so my daughter can eat a roll.

Corona

About 1/3 of people in US will travel normally and continue the spread:

The peak of the latest wave seems to be near:

Deaths are close behind as they are now starting to spike. We hit 2k for the first time since May

In Marin, the cases are up but not where they were this summer:

That’s it. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.

Only 64 more days to go
