Today began our family’s foster-to-adopt journey. We had our foster interaction this morning with Keimi (the foster parent), Stephanie (the adoption counselor) and or course, Sushi.

On the lighter side, i’ve been taking advantage of opportunities to just get out of the house (safely) and take pleasure in simpler, brief visits. I accompanied Oleg to Brigantine, NJ — Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge and just was happy to be in the passenger seat and taking in the scenery.

Offsite meeting for our team.

Leisure day visiting friends in upstate New York.

Watching a kung-fu musical, browsing high fashion shops and looking at the architectural anomalies that is Hudson Yards.
