Thanks Clint. I ventured out to the grocery this morning, and there was a line outside when the doors opened. It was busy and everyone was focused, but the shelves were stocked pretty well, and it wasn't crazy. I tried to be a little more patient and friendly than usual, and it worked out fine. The local news is running a list of closings like we're under a winter storm.
It's a really unique time, for sure, but I expect things will settle down in due time. I'm a data guy, so it has been interesting to watch this
dashboard. It's just data, with no sensational news. It's clearly showing a progression, but many people have also recovered. Once the rate of progression starts to drop, things will start returning to normal. No matter how long it takes, though, it will be too long because we're all impatient. My heart goes out to families that have lost loved ones, and I hope this causes the world community to better prepare for the "next big thing."
I heard John Maxwell say this morning, "Your sky may be falling, but my sky isn't." Putting things in proper prospective and being the "rock" for those around you wins the day, IMO. That's what leaders, i.e. real men, do. <steps off soapbox>.
I'm very happy how the gift turned out with our doc. He's a very humble man. Even though he was over the moon, I thought he might not accept it. I'm glad that he did. Knowing him, he'll want us to feel his cheeks for BBS. He's a real jokester. Guys like that get on my nerves.
I hope your day is going well, considering all the deadlines you're facing.
