Saturday Snap – ElevateBoarding

At a time when people should be minimizing any activities that may result in a preventable trip to the hospital, Shea and I have mixed feelings about seeing Pace get his skateboard out now that spring seems to be here. Honestly, he’s pretty skilled and safe (notwithstanding how it looks due to the timely snap […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happier Times at the Hospital (May 2007)

It’s amazing how the hospital can be both the location for some of the happiest moments of people’s lives (births of children, news about diseases being beaten and bones being healed) and some of the worst (a loved one doesn’t make it after an accident, grandma’s last breaths on the palliative care ward, the diagnosis […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Practicing Protective Measures In The Good Old Days(May 2019)

Pace was into personal protective gear long before the current COVID-19 outbreak. (Of course, this was how he suited up to load dirty dishes into the dishwasher at our old house so a lot lower health risk I would hope!)

10 Random Thoughts on CoronaVirus

As a fan of dystopian literature, it’s still shocking how quickly we’ve gotten to this point.  Within a couple months of COVID-19 appearing, we’ve shut down billion dollar sports leagues, concerts, schools, libraries and more.

Saturday Snap – Scenes From Plague Week

With apologies to Daniel Dafoe, some scenes from the past few days… Busy disinfecting everything in the house… I *love* my library’s “In the News” display.  It’s been a huge hit with how timely and responsive it is and our COVID-themed display was no exception (yes, I know some of those “boost your immunity” books […]

Some Quick Thoughts On The End of The World

Coronavirus I was in a meeting tonight and in the course of about an hour, my phone buzzed to tell me that: 1) Trump was going to start heavily restricting travel from Europe to US; 2) the NBA was cancelling their season; and 3) Tom Hanks and his wife have the disease.  It’s a wild, […]
