Hi there! It has been a rainy, rainy week. Luckily we still had a really nice time with our friends who came to visit, and have been able to maintain minimal puppy cabin fever. Not much new in the yard except MUSHROOMS.
Meanwhile we had to keep the pupperdoodle occupied indoors. His favorite toy by far is the broom.

I didnât read a single thing this week, which was pretty nice. #Vacation
Weâre watching A Knightâs Tale (2001). Oh Heath Ledger! This movie holds up, and is hilarious. American Gods (season 1 â 2017). Wow, this show is bonkers. We watched the 1 free episode on STARZ and had to start a free trial so we could keep going. (Skip if youâre not into HBO-levels of nudity.)
Weâre still playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. In fact, as soon as I hit âsendâ on this newsletter, Andy and I will be traversing the galaxy for the first time after getting our ship back from the scoundrel who stole it.
Weâre listening to Some Nights by fun. (2012). A favorite album that Andy and I just discovered we have in common.
Weâre drinking the best cocktail of my entire life at The Monarch in downtown Kansas City. (God bless friends who drag us out on the town. #Vaccinated) It was called the âAntisocial Butterflyâ â vodka, pisco, white tea peach kombucha, salt-cured egg yolk (!!), and something called âwhite sangria reduxâ (??). It tasted kind of like a mango lassi but EVEN BETTER.
This week I wrote about a friend of a friend who has a rare genetic condition that makes her ultra-cancer-prone. She just received her third cancer diagnosis at 46.
OK team, thatâs all for today. Have a great week!
Take care please,
XOXO,
A
