These days, there’s no telling how long we may have to endure and adapt to new normals. But as it turns out, a dear colleague of ours, Mr. Brown, got his hands on a time machine some five years from now, and was able to transmit a copy of a diary he’s been keeping. He asked us to share it with the world as a reminder of how there will always be both comforts and lessons to be found in futures even as familiar as today.
