There's a ton of moving parts these next few weeks and it's starting to feel something like full-speed again. We're still living in the upside-down, but more and more it's just feeling inconvenient instead of insurmountable.
This past week had me booking travel arrangements for a couple upcoming projects. No doubt there's more thought going into the seat I'm choosing on a flight. There's also the whole thing of making sure I'm taking safety precautions more seriously. Some buddies of mine who are already flying have been using a combination of KN95 masks with medical style masks on top while on the plane; some are also using eye protection. The KN95 masks I'd found on Amazon seemed hit-or-miss, so I ordered a 50 pack from West Coast KN95 in southern California. They seemed legit and had their certifications in order.
I also ordered some eye protection off Amazon, so I'll be the cool guy wearing these safety goggles through the airport and on flights like a zealot. There's been situations where I needed eye protection on set, specifically earlier this year when I'd shot in a raging dust storm only to be rinsing and fishing trash out of my eyes the next few days.
This week's hot takes:
Expect me to be spending MUCH less time on social media. Anne and I watched The Social Dilemma the other night and had some solid conversations about our social media usage as well as how we're approaching this nonsense as parents.
No question Volvo makes some of the best commercials. This one was making the rounds this past week and absolutely worth your time.

"Dissents speak to a future age. It's not simply to say, 'My colleagues are wrong and I would do it this way.' But the greatest dissents do become court opinions and gradually over time their views become the dominant view. So that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today, but for tomorrow." - Ruth Bader Ginsburg
