Weekly Report: March 24th - March 30th 2025
The Week in Summary:
- Due to the CBE's Spring Break, I had the entire week off to unwind - thank goodness! Taylor had to still work a bunch, but I managed to get some extra quality time in with them - which is a blessing!
- For most of the week, I found myself at cafes, bookstores, and tea houses in Kensington and Beltline. For that reason, whilst I did spend time with my bullet journal, I got a lot of reading done. I made progress on a few books, but ultimately finished two: Héctor Tobar's Our Migrant Souls: A Meditation on Race and the Meanings and Myths of “Latino” and John Green's Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection.
- Additionally, No Man's Sky released their Relics update and their accompanying expedition, both of which were oriented around planetary paleontology. In any case, I managed to finish it fairly quickly.
- And of course, over the week, I got to spend time with my dear friends. On Wednesday, Amy and I walked down to Elemental Cafe to chat, afterwards we joined Macs, Taylor, Alexis, Krystal, Ang, and Katelyn at Confederation Park to enjoy an evening picnic with a cozy fire. On Friday morning, Taylor, Alexis, and I went to Turca Breakfast House to have Turkish breakfast with black tea. For Saturday evening, we had Katelyn and Ang over for sushi and a game of Root (Ang kicked ass).
- Also, just before our spring snowstorm, I managed to get my first bike ride of the year out of the way - as short as the trip was.

Archbishop Óscar Romero Becomes a Saint, But His Death Still Haunts El Salvador
Romero, who was assassinated in 1980, paid the ultimate price for his outspokenness. The potency of his mythology was something that his enemies had not counted on.
