Dad Things - Issue #22
A long summer seemingly ended quickly and the mornings and afternoons are starting to feel like fall. We're technically still in a pandemic, but life seems like it is almost back to normal. I still feel anxious when around a ton of people. I don't think that feeling will go away any time soon.
Another relatively short issue this week, but I'm shooting for consistency and quality.
