Go negativity!
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Woohoo negative tests.
Wishing that the dentist's office closes on account of bad weather so I don't have to go to my appointment is not very adult of me, right?

Here's hoping that the universe backs off and gives you some quiet to recover, Steph.
It's probably a good thing that I generally don't share my pizza with anyone and can get all the olives and mushrooms I like.
Ditto. Then again, there are few savory dishes in which I wouldn't happily include olives and mushrooms.
Last night I cooked salmon fillets and didn't have my usual sauce (honey) so I marinated in lime juice and then mixed soy sauce, spray margarine, salt, and pepper before grilling. They turned out way better than they had any right to given the lack of planning involved. And the sauce dribbled down and seasoned the skins, so bonus evening snack!

I'm taking my family to the Grand Canyon over President's Day weekend. With the caveat that almost everything is closed (because winter and also Covid), anyone have recs for must-see things, easy hikes, good food?

That salmon sounds delicious, Matt.
Jealous, Jess. I love the Grand Canyon. Haven't been in ages, though, so no recs.

I've only been once, and it was 30 years ago and not during a pandemic. (And in the spring, so the mules and bike rentals etc were all open.)

Jessica - It's been years since I went to the Grand Canyon, but I really enjoyed the Lookout Studio. The rest of the canyon was spectacular, of course, but the Lookout Studio surprised me. In the area, we drove from the south rim to Monument Valley and that was a lovely drive in the winter. It's pretty desolate, but I loved it. Also, in Flagstaff, the Lowell Observatory with its historic telescopes was fascinating. Depending on where you're driving from and the weather, the drive from Flagstaff to Sedona via Oak Creek Canyon is also lovely. Both hilly and twisty, so I probably wouldn't do it in bad weather, but very scenic if it is dry out.

I bet some people put olives in tomato sauce
I mean... sometimes you want puttanesca.
