Dear John,

Lots of news happening – this week’s digest only scratches the surface. I didn’t include the viral story of the person who found a shrimp in their morning cereal. I wonder if the press attention on this story means we’re returning to some sort of normalcy on the Internet.

LyLy’s off on her next career calling, though she contributed to this week’s digest. I’m off next week for break but will be back on April 8th with a new co-author. Stay tuned. Loved getting your notes these past few weeks.

Here’s what we’re reading, watching, and listening to this week:
