With the Corona virus sweeping around us, if the world was flat it would have fallen off itself by now. I never thought I would see toilet paper hoarding. You know there are things that will do in a pinch. Being of the pre-disposable diaper age, I really appreciated Justin Spencer’s speil on the topic. You have to keep a sense of humor about things.

Not to downplay the seriousness of the virus and our current situation, but we’ve been here before, albeit not to this extent. I guess some of my ‘calmness’ comes from being an ‘essential worker bee'(at least to the big bosses who get to work from home when I can’t) is, we go through this kind of stuff every year. The flu, including H1N1, noro, cdiff, MRSA, something else.. Wash wash, glove glove, mask mask, closed to visitors and maybe admissions. Story of my life. So while I am unlikely to be out of work, at least until I get quarantined, life goes on. Fortunately missed my first opportunity by going to the OTHER vet in Littleton, not the vet that had the visitor with the Corona virus.
So guess what, Corona is here..It’s going to make the rounds, unfortunately will take some people with it, but this will pass. Then we can celebrate with a beer (of course a Corona). Sorry I couldn’t resist..

So what to do while we are ‘social distancing?” Pretty much what I do a lot of anyway. Stomp around in the woods scaring the squirrels, too early to paddle (at least in my book). Stealth trips to Cannon.. I am typing this March 20th and while Cannon is officially closed, there is still a fair amount of snow on the slopes and I did seen another like minded person stomping around on another slope.. While no snow lower down, it’s still full winter on the high peaks..The yoga studio down the street is closed as well, so self yoga or online it is.. I am tending to stay out of the gym to continue the social distance, besides, while I do hit the gym, I generally hate it, except when it’s -20 degrees out. Besides, there’s always outside work to do around the house involving lifting,raking, etc, etc. So keep the faith, we will make it through this…
