Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2006. Mattie was four years old and enjoying his time out on our deck. At one point, Mattie's sandbox frog sat on our deck (now its in the commons area for all children to enjoy). Notice that Mattie wasn't sitting in the sand, but rather in the sandbox lid! He filled it all up with his sand toys and was pretending it was a boat, with his shovel as an oar.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- number of people diagnosed with the virus: 1,281,246
- number of people who died from the virus: 76,901
It was a long day today that involved several hours on a zoom video call. NOT my favorite mode of communication. The notion that this is how businesses will continue to operate when things stabilize is frightening. There are many problems with this pandemic, but one major one is we have been locked up at home for over 50 days. During that time, work has been performed (if one is lucky enough to have a job) virtually. Things that once involved live conversations have migrated over to virtual calls and for the most part I am sensing that some people find this more efficient and this is how it should remain even when our states open back up. I am not a meeting person in general, but if a meeting has to occur, then nothing replaces face to face contact. I am hoping that this "new normal" as people call it does not become the norm. I did not like the 'new normal' lexicon when Mattie had cancer and I most certainly don't appreciate it now.
The highlight of my day was Peter bought me ice cream. Even seeing the photo makes me smile.
