The circumstances of your sudden moon-lit drive and solitary dining sound concerning. But this was a lovely meditation on the things that matter, both large and small.

I hope everything is ok back in the US. In the meantime, OMG, thank you for the link to JoJo from Jersey. I spent time as a kid near Philadelphia (no slouch in the sarcasm department) and was always in awe of our smart-mouthed New Jersey neighbors. She’s a refreshing blast.

I know, right? Jojo is refreshing balm during these dark times.

And I forgot to say that the combination of Nemo Case (🩷) and JoJo made for such a sweet and tough duality…not sure I said that well.

It turns out that my husband's cousin, who moved to Portugal a few years ago and who we will be visiting this summer, has a thriving YouTube channel about his time living there. He recently uploaded a video of himself singing Portugal's Eurovision song. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/c/daveinportugal

I saw it!! Then I saw you were connected to him and wondered if he was the cousin. His version was lovely. Are you still planning a visit here?
