April 19, 2020, Day 41 lost on this island, at least six feet away from Gilligan (but trying to inch closer to Maryann). Fear Wins Out: So, creating a nightmare scenario (which really is my worst fear) gets a lot of views, likes (❤️,😔) and comments. Most traffic I’ve ever had on this blog. Are … More Life in the Time of Corona #13
April 15, 2020, Day 37 in hiding from the Taxman (get it, April 15, tax deadline? Oh, never mind). Fear: He woke up to a dry cough. Not his. Hers. Was she okay? The coughing woke her as well. When she sat up, she said she was exhausted. He was immediately concerned. He was out … More Life in the Time of Corona #12
April 13, 2020, Day 35 hiding under a slimy rock while storms rage outside our Onset windows. Feathers: I’ve spent much of today in our third floor “Sunset Room” (without a single trace of sun) reading, and watching Andrea Bocelli on YouTube singing beautiful religious songs that I assume have something to do with Easter … More Life in the Time of Corona #11
April 11, 2020, Day 33 in our own little Ground Hog Day. At least the sun is out and the ocean is pretty. Shout Out: Nancy Reneaud, ER nurse at BIDMC Plymouth and mother-in-law to Kelsey. Plus it’s her birthday today to boot! ER nurses and healthcare workers are putting their lives at risk ever … More Life in the Time of Corona #10
April 9, 2020, Day 31, as the Smashing Pumpkins might say, still living like a “rat in a cage.” Street Etiquette: Walking outdoors is quickly becoming the best (only?) break we can get from the mind-numbing routine of daily life in the Time of Corona. Even a semi-decent (which is also a semi-crappy) day will … More Life in the Time of Corona #9
April 7, 2020, Day 29 in hiding from the Federales: 2nd straight day of beautiful Southcoast weather in Onset. An OB Free Post: In response to my lovely wife’s admonitions, today’s post will (other that this) be free of my typical OB blathering. She wants something a little more personal. Let’s see how that goes… … More Life in the Time of Corona #8
April 6, in the year of our Lord 2020, Day 28 (which is FOUR WEEKS) nailed to this cross (yep, an Easter reference): Must admit, we got us a beautiful day here in Onset. Blessing of the Fleet: One of the fun things about living above a marina is watching the crew scurrying around, moving … More Life in the Time of Corona #7
April 5, Day 27 of house arrest: It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, won’t you be my neighbor? Getting the F#@& Out of Dodge: As the sun began to break through the miserable cloud cover yesterday, Barb insisted we go for a drive. After stops at CVS (no, there was no toilet paper, not … More Life in the Time of Corona #6
April 3, 2020: Day 25 of isolation. Rainy, gloomy, stormy on the Cape. Like waiting for some kind of end to come… Oh, the Reality: Yesterday I suggested to Barb that maybe we could take a day trip to Costco and pick up some needed supplies (primarily liquor, wine and beer, of course) after her … More Life in the Time of Corona #5
March 27, 1:17 pm: Day 18, sitting on the side deck basking in a sunny, breezy, 62 degree day. Let’s see how long it lasts. Medical family: First of all, hats off to the real heroes of the day, our medical family members and friends. They are putting their very lives at risk, under the … More Life in the Time of Corona #4
