Friday Cannon Fodder: what’s up

Hello Short Fusers. Happy Friday! It’s good to be back doing CF daily. I like having a place where I can stream of consciousness for 150+ words then have the discussion morph into something tangentially related such that we don’t talk about my (brilliant) insight.

I’m kidding. I enjoy seeing the familiar names in the comments, and I think it’s an important part of our community. I don’t know about you, but I always get a little bit excited when I see that “4/1” (or something like that) in the top right corner of a post thumbnail on the main page that tells me there is a new comment.

Since we haven’t had a Friday CF in a while, the question today is simple: how are you?

I’m doing pretty well. Life is pretty much continuing apace as the era of social distancing marches on. I’m looking forward to walking to a nearby farmer’s market tomorrow morning, which may be a COVID-shut-in thing or may be an “I’m getting older” thing.

I’m also looking forward to watching the Arsenal Women in the Champions League at 2 PM. We’re doing full coverage of the match, and hope you’ll join us for the tweet/thread tomorrow. It’s going to be fun!
