NJM 2020, Entry 20 - Superspreading in These Foolish Things

NJM 2020, Entry 16 - Skip This One. Seriously. in These Foolish Things

NJM 2020, Entry 13 - The Official Morning Routine in These Foolish Things

NJM 2020, Entry 12 - Dealing with Dave in These Foolish Things

NJM 2020, Entry 3 - Election Anxiety in These Foolish Things
Whelp, election day in the good ol’ USA. I don’t think we’re going to announce a winner today/tonight or even tomorrow, but I think we might have an idea. Maybe? It’s surely not going to be a l...
NJM 2020, Entry 2 - Back in the Swing? in These Foolish Things
