Greetings from scenic Vermont, where I am trying to teach my nephew to play the first two guitar chords in a Macklemore song, though after some frustration over a D chord we have now switched to "Smoke on the Water," every non-guitar-playing ten-year-old's favorite first riff. Soon we will have to take a break to eat ice cream and play mini-golf.

In other words, if you don't hear from me regularly for the next few days, assume I'm busy watching a PG movie, ordering pizza, or making a middle schooler clean the cat box.
