Hampton Road, Va. Approx. 1980. 2nd row, in front of a bank of speakers.

The sound went right through me.


B.Y.W., did anyone recognize Sting in the video?

My daughter is now sick with fatigue and a sore throat ...

Then my wife goes out to get her a sub at noon and pizza for dinner ... after I had stocked the shelves with at least five weeks of food they chose, food for during illness and medical supplies. And she won't take time off her job in a big shopping mall - we don't need the money and her other daughter - who is working from home now - is her boss who doesn't require her to work there.

Makes my head spin.

Wife's store is closing as is where my other daughter works. She's feeling fine today.
Maybe we dodged a bullet.
We have to get cat food and litter and can sit tight for five weeks.

Being there and being a good person who treats their wife and kids well makes a huge difference in a child’s life. I wish more men realized how much being a good dad (and spouse) mattered and changes lives, making the world a better place.

We still have no identified cases in my county, so I'm comfortable doing quick errands, like dropping off taxes to my accountant. When I go to pick them up I'll tie that trip in with a stop to pick up whatever I think I might run out of, in the next 2 to 3 weeks. Then I'm hoping to just stay home and work in the yards and gardens.

41 out of the 54. There is one case that they have not geographically identified, as of yet.

I'm going to do a serious inventory of my pantry and see what should be put on a list to purchase. Hopefully by next week the stores will settle down. If not, I'll just make due with what I can get. I only eat two meals a day and I'm pretty clever when it comes to cooking.
