Mitch shared a great list of possible activities to engage in during this time of quarantine. I would love to share a few of the specific things that my family and I have done.  

I had looked forward to to a few road trips – well long rides – using my songs of the road playlist but it seems like many plans a lot of us looked forward to – Postponed.

It's been quite a week. Businesses had to be 50% staffed, then 75% then 100%. States are locking down and people are still hoarding toilet paper..   I thought I might start a list of what you can do while sheltering in place. • Visit musuems online • Dust off that old instrument in your basement and give it a go • Put together a puzzle...that one in the back of your closet you got as a gift years ago :) • Start a journal (Fred's been doing it everday for a long time now) • Teach yourself a foreign language...you have the time

No doubt, we are experiencing trying and unprecedented times.   We are advised to hunker down and self quarantine to “Flatten The Curve” of the out of control Coronavirus outbreak.  Meanwhile we find empty supermarket shelves as panicked people instinctively hoard.   Gloria Gaynor famously sang “I Will Survive” and we will too.  

After taking care of a few technical glitches—people dialing in on the wrong number and eliminating static from a bad connection — we settled in to our first Gotham Covid 19 conference call on Tuesday at 5 pm. (In the interest of not leaving anyone out or getting names wrong, I will not mention names.) It was informative group therapy....

Do you like my pants? Not the usual St. Patrick’s Day, but still made memories of a different kind. Instead of parades, corn beef and cabbage at our favorite pub, we celebrated the patron saint of Ireland at home. I turned on the Irish stew first thing in the morning , put on my leprechaun

  I’m curious. Where are you working right now?

  I believe that we can all admit that we are living in a crazy, and somewhat scary, time. Every few minutes the news inundates us with new closings and cancellations, the Vegas buffets, Disney World, March Madness etc. And, as Mitch eloquently wrote on Saturday, the supermarket shelves are bare. But, during it all, we must make important decisions about our own families, businesses and lives. It can be overwhelming.
