In the first podcast of Season 2, Jeff and Doug ruminate about the weird Spring we all have ahead of us. Our community spends a lot of time and energy figuring out how to balance our work and home lives, and now they’ve been mashed together like a PB&J sandwich in the bottom of your kid’s backpack.
How are we coping? How are we using the time? And where do we want to be when normal life returns?
Plus: Pandemics are great for teaching your kid to drive on the highway, traveling on a cruise ship on high virus alert, and the joys of stress-cleaning.
