You know what I think. I think each of us might try to find something to do on a given day that we really love, but that, to the best of your ability, doesn’t carelessly endanger anyone else.

Truth of the matter is that the human spirit must be free.

One of the worst things about Coronavirus, aside from the obvious horrible death, is the horrible life. How it oppresses and isolates and makes suspicious and defensive. I can’t even have my best friend over, because he may... well I won’t even say it. This thing sucks.

I did a thing that was a risk today. I could end up regretting it. But I chose to take that risk, and in doing so, I stated that I am free. The water washed so much fear away. I know it will be back. Today it was gone, and that tasted good.

NJ and NYC ER docs are seeing a turnaround - more discharges, more patients off ventilators.

In an NJ hospital, when a patient is recovered enough to be taken off vent or is discharged, there’s a special signal that raises the spirits of the medical staff. They get the overhead music to play a special Beatles song...

@DrSamGirgis tweets today: “”When a #COVID19 patient is being discharged or comes off the ventilator call the switchboard operator by dialing 0. The operator will play Here Comes The Sun overhead” ...And I’ve been hearing it ALL DAY!”

I've been waiting for months for a warm enough day and free time to enjoy taking my motorcycle out. Today was it. 66 degrees. All critical software complete. 40 minutes cruising on my Yamaha SR400. No need to fire up the big Harley. It was nice to get the 70 hour week millstone complete. Next week is clean up documentation and the start of work with a completely different project.

Tonight I worked off a couple more Security+ training modules. I'll need that cert for the cybersecurity assignments ahead.

Thanks for the pics of Petunia playing in the water. I have 8 dogs here. They enjoyed a romp in the backyard after I returned from the bike ride. Even the Maine Coon cat took a stroll out to nibble some grass.
