I mentioned on the Skip the Trailer podcast that I was jealous of my niece who got to see the new Little Mermaid movie already. I’m still planning on seeing that movie. but I only bring this up because that niece, Anna, came over to play board games with me today. She loves playing them and so do I, so we had a great time. Love you, Anna!
