Dear Reader —

Things I’ve done during the quarantine:

• I’ve improved my DPS.

• De-scaled our espresso machine.

• Completed every level on Super Mario SNES.

• Organized my desk.

• Developed routines for “no-touch” close-up magic (way more successful than I thought).

  • “Picking cards” becomes a dribble and a stop.

  • Slip-forces.

  • Bill-changes.

  • Coin routines ala 3-fly.

• Maintenance on my car.

• Preparing to file my taxes.

Remember, Isaac Newton allegedly came up with some of his grand theories during the quarantine for the bubonic plague, so, stay vigilant my friends, and I’ll see you on the other side (whenever that is).
