It seems as though many adults presume that due to this virus, high schoolers have been dismissed from school only to have complete, leisurely free time. In actuality, teachers- at least the ones at my school- have been utilizing the "Google Classroom," an online method of lesson distribution, to teach us from home. It has been a strange adjustment to get used to, but thanks to the internet we are all able to feel a little more connected during these isolating (literally!) times than we would have otherwise.

Our favorite psychologist is back. Every time I hear from him, I feel better. You can google him at drgeraldstein.wordpress.com. I am also going to forward his email version where you can leave a comment.

“Maybe that's why people in Cuba are so friendly, caring about each other, and down to Earth.
The permanent crisis there makes people understand the importance of community.”

Last night I took Charlie, our dog, out for a walk. I noticed a father and his 3 kids playing basketball in their driveway, another father and son talking a walk, and several folks walking their dogs. Our weather is nice and I think all of these people represent us all making the best of our collective self isolation. It is reassuring.

I hope you're doing all right. I've told my mom about something I've heard about here: "quarantini's." It's getting together with friends for cocktails--over google hangouts or facetime or Zoom! She thought it sounded fun, so maybe she can set one up with you :)
Joan: When the toilet paper aisles were empty at my local store, the liquor section was full. Another reason to ponder: "What's wrong with us!" Right now, Quarantini is my favorite word.I noticed that Kenny Rogers "folded 'em." I liked his music. RIP.
