Greatly enjoyed a 2nd day of rest and relaxation. Found an interesting podcast delving into MLK, not just as a figure, but looking back in history and pointing out the way things were, at the time, including popularity and recognition and much more. In the end, a significant cultural shift came less with his actions at the time and far more from his martyrdom, which served as a catalyst and spotlight on the issues. Fascinating look back. And to imagine how the past few years have further escalated visibility into inate cultural biases and racism, it's frustrating to see how, even with as far as we've come, we have a lot farther to go. I spent some time reading and listening to podcasts. Although I have enjoyed Antkind so far, I'm getting restless. It's not something that's keeping me up turning pages as much as I'd hoped. I don't know that I can really focus on anything at the moment anyway. I have lots of books but my time and attention seem more suited of late to podcasts and articles. Enjoyed a nice dinner w/Lauren and Jen, low key PM looking at Apple Watches (Lauren wants one, I'm reconsidering one for myself but with much trepidation due to prior frustrations and time-sucking experiences getting the functionality I wanted. However now, with more effort on health and movement and such, it might be a worthwhile investment. Plus if Lauren has one we can send taps too! Tommy returned, had a great time, was pleasant and low key which was great. Jen's got tomorrow off but I don't and kids have school, so we'll see what comes of the day.
