I have taken up bike riding for the first time in thirty years. Ryan Stradal.ĭo you have any new quarantine activities or rituals? A book I am loving right now is The Lager Queen of Minnesota by J. I do not listen to podcasts, even though I do have a podcast. My partner comes from an Orthodox family, so it was interesting watching it through her eyes. We also just finished Unorthodox which was incredible. Tell us the best shows, podcasts, or books you’re loving right now. What’s the last thing you purchased online? Regret or obsessed? We also have a pretty good-sized home, so we each have our own spaces to retreat to for personal time. There are certainly moments where we get a bit snippy with each other, but I am grateful every day that we get to do this together. I am quarantining with my fiancée Debbie, and we actually get along very well, so it has been great. Who are you quarantining with? Do you feel the need to “get away”? How do you make it happen? Let's just say I am wearing a lot of soft clothing, but I do shower every day, and I do change clothes every day - day pajamas vs.

I have been doing a lot of baking and cooking, so I have a renewed appreciation for my kitchen, and especially my stove.ĭescribe your at-home quarantine uniform. It's all pretty surreal.Īre there objects or spaces in your house that you are newly appreciating? Or are there objects and spaces you have come to loathe? I am doing all the meetings I would normally do at studios and production companies via Zoom, so there is a lot of staring at people in tiny computer windows.

But normally I travel every week, and now I am decidedly not traveling, so I am going a bit stir crazy. In some ways, my day-to-day work experience is the same: me at my computer, procrastinating endlessly. I am a writer, editor, and public speaker. What’s your profession, and what does your day-to-day work experience look like now?
