What did I miss?

I’ve been “off the grid” the past two weeks — the first one on vacation, the second one moving my youngest daughter into her dorm room at the University of Maryland as she begins her college experience.

After driving close to 11 hours back to Boston yesterday — through thunderstorms, rush hour traffic, accidents, construction, and more — I am back in the office today. Well, my body is back. I’m not so sure about my mind.

My wife and I woke up this morning as empty nesters.

I don’t know what I missed these past two weeks in the world of supply chain and logistics, but I’m already missing waking up my daughter in the morning in my annoying ways (annoying to her, not me), and her hour-long singing performances in the shower — sometimes the full soundtrack to Hamilton or Les Misérables, or a mixtape of Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams, and Olivia Rodrigo songs.

Her bedroom is next to my office, and I was very quiet this morning. I didn’t print anything or roll my chair across the floor, careful not to wake her up too early.

I forgot.

What else did I miss?

Let’s find out together.
