Normally I look forward to the end of March and the beginning of April. But rather than dwell on that, I’ll recommend this espn.com article about Rex Chapman. Stay healthy and safe.

Happy Monday everyone. Rachel and I had a quiet day of classes and work. Today Macy’s, Kohl’s, and Gap announced today that they were furloughing most of their employees. I worked at Macy’s from 2010 – 2014. I’m glad I’m not there now and I hope my friends that still work there can get through this.
Here’s today’s collection. Stay healthy and safe.

Quiet Sunday here. We did some things around the house. Logan and I played more World of Warcraft.
We’ve been watching Tiger King on Netflix. It’s like a three legged dog; horrifying, but you just can’t look away.

Happy weekend everyone. I went out to pick up a prescription today. The roads were pretty clear. People seem to be following our county’s order to stay at home. I’ve also been scanning papers so I can file them digitally and get rid of more clutter.
I introduced my son-in-law to World of Warcraft today. If you’re interested in playing, let me know. If you’ve never played before you can play free for a good amount of time to see if you like the game.
Our church had been holding services in the sanctuary with worship officiants only, using Zoom to broadcast to participants. With the county order to stay at home I think we’ll be moving to all virtual services next Sunday.
Our county schools have been doing digital learning for a couple of weeks. They start Spring Break this Monday. They’re going to do digital learning for the week after break and decide what to do after that. My money’s on digital learning for the rest of the school year.
Here’s today’s collection. Stay healthy and safe and let me know if I can help with anything.

A quick update tonight because it’s late and I want to go to sleep. Our county has ordered residents to stay home. We’ve doubled our reported cases since Wednesday. I guess we’re fortunate that we’re only at 102. The U.S. has exceeded 100,000 reported cases. Stay healthy and safe.

Home after a whirlwind day of packing up Rachel’s dorm room and driving from Lexington. Here’s hoping we weren’t exposed.
Look for a longer entry tomorrow. Right now I just want to sit. I’ll leave you with the last thing we packed today.
