This weekend’s Experiment is inspired, in part, by Steven Petrow’s excellent essay in the Washington Post this morning about the notion about resuming life after the pandemic. A lot of things have been on hold, this is true. And we have lost a lot of people. But we are 240-plus days into this, and we’ve done something with this time. So my question to you is:
Have you started chess lessons? Given birth? Started a new job? Finished a book? Written a book? Learned a musical instrument? Built a treehouse?
I’d want to include your accomplishments in the next edition of The Experiment. I’ll identify you by first name and last initial, and if you get a wild hair and want to write your own post about how you’ve been filling up your time during the pandemic, have at it. I’m game if you are.
So, what have you been up to? You can reply to this email or use the button below. No answer to big or small, and none of it qualifies as bragging. Lying is discouraged though not necessarily forbidden as I appreciate the effort a good story takes. Thanks in advance.
