House Arrest

Unless you've been on Mars lately, you've been somehow affected by the Corona Virus / COVID-19. At this point, I'm not sure that the Martians could have possibly escaped the widespread panic caused by this pandemic.
History will judge us.
No one may ever know if we over-reacted but the scary possibilities of under-reacting are too much to even fathom.
At this point, nothing can surprise us.
School is no longer in session. Oh sure - Monday 3/30 we start "Distance Learning" but that's not school.
19 years I have been a teacher. Those innocent children that sat in my classroom on that Tuesday morning long ago when those planes flew in to those buildings - yeah, they're Moms and Dads now. They're professionals and even colleagues of mine. We learned then that the world stopped turning but only for a little while.
And now here we are again...the rotation of the Earth seems at a stand still...but it's not. This too shall pass. Grace before grades and Love before Lessons - school will be back in Real Session some day soon.
In the meantime, we take another gubernatorial approved walk around town with our dog. Play another board game with those people that are most important to us. Another click through the interwebs to see what has changed in the last 6 hours. And wonder with each sneeze, if it's our time...

Call your Grandma.

The BLOG is back up and running!

All it took was an International Pandemic.
