The gift of time

Been working on lots of projects around the house.  I seem to be failing on the big ones.  Still, it's nice to have the time to chop away at them. 

Also working on music when I can.  I shall post the results here:

My Glorious Hole

We've been on lockdown for a few weeks now.   No school for the kids, no work for me, and the governor has issued a stay-at-home order for the foreseeable future. 

I'll be honest -- I'm feeling very lucky in that my quarantine experience has been, thus far, sort of idyllic.  Daily runs, increased sauna time, time with the kids, time with Jeannie, time to work on house projects, beautiful weather, and plenty of outside time.  My life hasn't been touched by illness or death yet.  And that's a big yet.  The situation around the world and in parts of the US is getting worse and worse, and there are major financial issues  looming on the horizon.  Who knows what tomorrow will bring?  Should I be doing more to prepare for a potentially disastrous tomorrow, or should I enjoy what is currently around me?  A balance of both, I suppose.  

The kids seem to be taking everything in stride.  Samuel is worried about not getting presents for his birthday, and that's about it.  Anna is rolling with everything.  The schools are trying to ramp up online learning, which is more of a pain than a help.  It's kind of like trying to homeschool with a backseat driver.  

I think that's all I've got right now.  

p.s. I meant to also add that 'Sabotage' might be the best song in the world to run to, and it makes me think of J. Knese.
