Overall, I'm not great. I have a dogged sense of humor that is wearing thin. I'm glad to have found your writing. I'm glad to be writing myself. My children are well and the weather in Los Angeles is glorious. I feel a bit like a Wallace Stevens poem.
Isn't the answer always pretty complicated? I'm mad about X, sad about Y, cautiously optimistic about Z, really excited about A, annoyed by B, indifferent to C, which is maybe a thing that I know the questioner cares about.
I'm not generally worried about being judged, so much as worried about giving a paragraph where a pair of words is called for. (I definitely tend that way). And maybe talking about Y makes us both sad, especially where there's A to talk about, that'll be an uplifting experience for the both of us.
We had our first fully vaccinated dinner with a lovely couple in their lovely home last night. Lots of ABCXYZ over the course of a few hours, it it was really neat getting to this. I'd have been as excited to have dinner with them 3 years ago, and the main impact of the pandemic on this event, I would say, is that while 3 years ago they'd have invited 3 couples, this was just us.
