Melania; you’re killing me.

I tell myself to stay away from news headlines because that is the opposite of staying calm and carrying on. In the spirit of doing exactly that, this post lists the things that keep me sane. Relatively speaking.

My mind is casting about attempting to find reason and comfort as we tunnel into these days and weeks of the pandemic. I’m trying to take the long view on this but it’s tricky.

Meet my niece Zoe. She’s a nurse and for all the very worst reasons, her profession is in the spotlight. What if even a pandemic doesn’t trigger a change in how we pay and protect these people?

Not sure how the world will emerge from this. In the meantime, here’s a not-to-be-missed account of quarantine in Austin, Texas. Netflix will be beating a metaphorical path to my door to turn it into an award winning show.
