Another thought provoking episode. I really appreciate your time and hard work. I have spent a great deal of time at home recently. My wife has type one diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, asthma, and is a breast cancer survivor. She is one of those folks that cannot risk what will happen if she gets Covid-19. As a result I am rarely away from home to make certain I do not acquire it. She needs me as a caregiver and I do not want to be the cause of her getting infected. I stay away from media and follow the science. Fortunately, I have the luxury to be able to work from home and have projects that keep me busy. I am a college professor and I am currently writing a Food Truck Management book and researching Generation Z's interest in culinary tourism. I have spent this time not focusing on what I am missing out on, but what I am getting from this year. I have focused on my health, appreciated the gift of being able to spend so much time with our elderly cats and dogs, I am reading more, I have been sorting through all of our stuff and donating all of what we do not need to charity, and have been organizing what we are keeping (our treasures). It has given me the time to be still and that is quite a gift. Off topic, what is up with home edit and the colors =)? Keep on doing what you are doing and thank you.
