On optimism

The case for hope, even and especially now.

On Friday, September 18, I was driving to the store to get some beer after my last meeting of the day.

It had been a particularly weird week — my birthday was the day before. It was a pandemic birthday, so we stayed in and ordered Tex-Mex from one of my favorite local spots in South Austin, El Borrego De Oro.
