For the past few months—since October, actually—I’ve been working really hard on something: As I announced back then, I took over a small, local newspaper/events calendar, then called The Davis Dirt. It was started ten years ago by four women and the two who were still publishing it were looking for someone to buy it and take it over. Since then, I have been trying to figure out how to make it feel like essential Davis reading. It already featured all of the arts and culture events in town, but I have started adding articles, and working on a rebranding and new website—for The Dirt.
I’m so excited (and relieved) to say that it’s finally rolling out.
Cheers to the weekend! I’m ready for it! Between the coronavirus news, the run up to Super Tuesday, and all of our own family business, there’s a lot going on!
I have a few links to share this week, but I’d love to hear about any stories—or good laughs—you’ve found on the Internet lately, too.
It’s looking very spring-like around here. The blooms are back and the bees are buzzing. I heard that we shouldn’t panic about the lack of rain just yet—more could come in March and April—but I really hope we Californians are all saving on water-use and thinking more long-term than that.
This weekend is full of around-here projects: I’m getting ready to launch the March issue of The Davis Dirt and this one comes (fingers crossed) with a whole new website, so there’s lots to do. Everyone is off at the moment: Hudson is starting up baseball again and practices begin today. Skyler is celebrating her birthday month with her class today and is feeling the love. Aron’s at work doing something silly no doubt… saving lives, blah blah blah. 😉 Actually, to toot a horn for him a bit: he’s once again been named one of the top doctors in Sacramento, and he’s been appointed Director of Urologic Robotic Surgery for Northern California at Kaiser and made Assistant Chief in his department! We’re pretty proud of him.
Looking forward to toasting to that and to the weekend soon!
