It was a privilege to spend time with the Landmans. I'm always so grateful to patients and families facing immense health challenges who are willing (and able) to share their struggles. Especially when they're actively processing a tough diagnosis and there's so much uncertainty.

I'm also thankful to have shared this story with @BronteWittpenn, who made such lovely, honest photos of Lucy and her family.

On the one hand, I think like a lot of people I slipped up a bit by doing something a little risky as cases were surging. On the other, I had a nice brunch? So I don't really regret how things turned out: I'm living my life the best I can in this covid world. 7/8

Everything pre-covid is kind of a blur to me but I had straight up forgotten that I was once a gas price journalist.
From @NorthBayNews (with the yellow mast that was the brunt of many jokes) $1.92 for fuel was the highest in the country. @erinallday!

I missed the second anniversary of my first story about covid, which was published Jan. 21, 2020. I feel like I've aged about 80 years in that time. But also like I'm a pretty healthy 130ish-year-old, I guess.

I’m on my first very crowded @SFBART train of the pandemic and it’s- fine? Maybe even better than pre-covid? Everyone’s masked and no one’s coughing/sneezing all over me.
