Onward

Every now and again I think maybe it's time to scrap Meet Me in the Morning. Then I read through some old posts and feel reinvigorated. I do love the journal aspect of a blog and the act of reminiscing. With that, I'll continue on!

The Habitat

I spent a lot of time in the car last week while driving to North and South Carolina. (Cue all the podcasts!) I had heard about The Habitat through another favorite series, Reply All, and was instantly hooked. Here's a summary:

On a remote mountain in Hawaii, there's a fake planet Mars. Six volunteers are secluded in an imitation Mars habitat where they will work as imitation astronauts for one very real year. The goal: to help NASA understand what life might be like on the red planet—and plan for the day when the dress rehearsals are over, and we blast off for real. Host Lynn Levy has been chronicling this experiment from the moment the crew set foot in their habitat, communicating with them through audio diaries that detail their discoveries, their frustrations, and their evolving and devolving relationships with each other. From those diaries, Gimlet Media has crafted an addictive serialized documentary: the true story of a fake planet.

Down South

I took a solo trip down south last week. I visited family in Charlotte and college friends in Greenville, South Carolina and Asheville, North Carolina. Thankfully, the weather cooperated and it was the perfect spring weekend to be among lilacs and hydrangeas. It was so nice catching up both on rest and with friends. I'm grateful to still feel connected to that part of the country. It will always hold a special place in my heart!
