I’m back in Florida as well (normally I live in Boston) and every person I’ve seen so far on my trip since last year, when I ask how they’ve been, has said some variance of “good, all things considered.” I don’t know what happened this year to hurt so many people at once, and I’m one of them (dad died, friends died, lost love, friends’ child illness, Gaza opinions tearing the family apart, etc) but the palpability of desperation is very clear. People feel like they are glad to just be here. Merry Christmas, I’m glad you’re still here too.

Thanks, Mike. Merry Christmas! We’re lucky to have you.
Merry Christmas, dude.
