Remap is taking the week off, but as if often the case as you get older, "days off" are merely being used to plug other holes. I spent the entirety of Monday power washing the backyard after a long delay, mowing the lawn, putting up shelves, and setting up oil change and service appointments for our cars. At this very moment, I am waiting for an oil change to be finished on our minivan, and was quickly informed there is also a mandatory safety recall to be done, as well. Tremendous. And my rewards for all of this? One of the gnarliest Chicago heat waves in decades. My heart, however, remains full, after several days of playing very fun video games with very good people and the very good audience of Remap. It balances out.
