Weekly Roundup

It's hard to believe August is almost over. It's been a busy month and it's been quite some time since I last did one of these so a lot has happened. I'll just focus on the highs and lows of the week though:

• The Biggest High: Our kids started back to school. The summer has been great and we've had lots of fun but when both you and your wife remote work, having the kids always around gets challenging at times.
• Our daughter had braces put on this week. They'll be an unfortunately constant companion for the next 3 years. I think she's most upset about not being able to eat popcorn.
• My wife is on the job hunt. Her specialty (if I can say it like that) is social media marketing in the book space. This is what she's been doing for the last few years and what she would love to continue doing. She wants to continue working remote and is open to anything broadly in the social media marketing space (so if you know of anything...let me know!
