Lots to dive into this week! My wife and I saw Sinners as our date night adventure for her birthday last week. I discuss how this movie and South of Midnight coming out close to each other spoke to my core. Later in the show I discuss the return of Oblivion and other games, then talk about Beef and Last of Us S2.

While many things in life are out of our hands, being as informed as possible is a great step to staying ahead and prepared for the unknown nature of life. This week we had to deal with a bomb threat warning at my kids school. Thankfully everyone is ok and this had me reflecting on a few things. My wife and I have been pretty involved with the school staff within the district we live in for many years. This has helped us stay informed and sometimes get a heads up to various things. Thus I wanted to discuss this all today.
