Time to focus

News blues…

With POTUS and FLOTUS (President and First Lady of the US) positive for Covid-19, expect this news to outdo all other news for the next couple of weeks.
Impatient with predictions – making or listening to – I’ll go out on a limb and predict many more positive diagnoses of White House staff and US Congresspeople. 

Already Kellyanne Conway is positive , as is Thom Tillis …. 

“At least 7 other people who attended event for Trump’s supreme court nominee have confirmed they have coronavirus.”   If I was a conspiracy theorist or fundamental religious, I’d find something revelatory or apocryphal in this news. Instead, my takeaway? Wear a mask! It’s not politics, but simple, no-brainer math: highly contagious airborne virus = need for practical protection.
Unprecedented times.
“No one has *any* idea what happens next….”

Meanwhile, back at the ranch…

It is still raining here. And, so far today, very foggy. I’m frustrated as falling behind schedule on getting this house on the market. As a former project manager, with the career-borne mantra “on budget and on time”, rain is, well, not something with which one can argue. If only!
