Weird is the new normal.
As we trudge along through the increasingly real and simultaneously increasingly surreal experience of living through a global pandemic, weird is becoming the new normal and normal is becoming the new weird.
I find myself reading novels – and finishing them – in less than a week. I find myself looking forward to going for a walk in the evening.

Those Sopranos DVDs you bought years ago aren’t going to watch themselves.
