GameStop's midlife crisis

Apple's road to nowhere good, Supercell's having triplets, and Topps' $1.3bn valuation

OMG, sweet heavens.

After a string of false starts, this week the 8-year-old returned to five days a week of school. I mean in the actual building. Away from home. Wow.

It’s been amazing.

The kid has been playing his heart out. After all this time, he’s finally able to run around carelessly on the playground. There’s tiny people drama again (“She has a crush on me!”), juice packs in the sun, and the electric crackle of roughhousing with all of his little friends.

So, too, my wife Janelle has been released. She has been the one doing the heavy lifting with remote schooling (Thank you! ❤️). Not having to be a full-time teacher means a new beginning for her, too.

And I’m happy to report that I’ve finally started driving school and have managed to schedule my first vaccination. Look for the enormous yellow sticker that reads “Student Driver” and wave. Spring has finally sprung.

On to this week’s update.
