Entering Week 36 of WFH. I certainly didn’t think, when we all dispersed to our home offices in March, that I would still be working alone here in my tiny nook, spending hours on conference calls and zoom meetings. But, our entire team @rubiconpublishing is healthy and working well. Plus, I do have the view of the lake (swipe) from my seat — and this morning all is calm, after last night’s wild winds. Stay home, everyone. We can beat this.

This was their way with the wind.
.
They flung us down and flailed above us with their visions and their pale tree light.
.
I think they were telling us to survive. That’s what a leaf feels like anyway. We lay under their great awry display and they tattooed us with light. ...
