We're starting the second week of school for Saint Anne the Wife and our older boy. Honestly this past week felt like it took a month to finish. On Friday I spent a solid portion of the day with our realtors and a small army of home inspectors at the 98 year old house we're looking to buy here in Oklahoma City. Again, it's hard to believe Friday was only a couple days ago seeing how time still has that wildly bent and warped thing happening during this surreal time.
Soon enough I'll get back to working behind a camera again. If social media is to be believed, I'm the only one not shooting film stock and/or an Alexa Mini and saving humanity on some courageous and impactful commercial campaign or meaningful art project. That whole "comparison is the thief of joy" idea is coming in hot while I'm sitting behind a computer screen and trying to buy a house in a city I'd never expected to live in again this time four months ago.
Here's a few hot takes from the week:
"You could try to pound your head against the wall and think of original ideas or you can cheat by reading them in books." - Patrick Collison, Co-Founder of Stripe (thx James Clear weekly newsletter)

Not a comic book movie guy, but those new trailers for The Batman and Wonder Woman 1984.
