May 2020, Life in COVID Times

Life continues to be weird and difficult here in San Francisco.
Watching the world engage in a battle over reality and safety is disorienting under any circumstances, but doing so during a global pandemic and from the second most densely populated city in the US is particularly challenging.

We've each been extraordinarily busy - and for both of us, work right now is very stressful, with a lot of highly consequential activities and decisions on a daily basis.

When we're not overwhelmed by work, we've been doing our best to keep some aloha and positivity in our lives. This had mostly consisted of cooking nice meals, video chat, and making reggae playlists for friends until recently. With the slightly relaxed restrictions we're now also getting out and about, and to the water a little.

Be well, stay safe.
