I gave up trying to blog frequently during the pandemic.
I had some moments in the beginning.
And I got some tongue-in-cheek inspiration for last year's Hat of Summer videos.
But it has been 365 days since I started staying home. And today is the start of Year number 2.
Things are very much the same in all of the tedious, superficial ways. I've stayed in my house so much, for so long. But all of the significant things are stable. The job is there. The family is there. We've managed to make our way through it so far. Even though it isn't over.

Speaking of doing the same things for a long time . . . I enjoyed Hank Green's Vlogbrother's video from yesterday. In it he responds to John's Tuesday video about "rebranding". And in the process, he also talked about how the art of YouTubery is performance--which indirectly supported John's previous video about what happens "outside the frame" of the video camera.
I encourage you to watch all three videos. It is only about thirteen minutes in total and will make you think more interesting thoughts that I can offer this morning.
[In chronological order]
I hope you are well and staying sane and sharing some hope. We are all still in this together, as we said so many days ago when this started.
May we all come out of it together soon.
