And so, another working week will soon come to a close. Not a moment too soon, yes? This is, you may recall, our treasured signal to daydream about weekend plans. Under the circumstances, however, our agenda is indefinitely going to be exceedingly modest. We hope to observe a day of rest — and a break from the barrage of disturbing events — and catch up on our napping and reading. We may also play a John Prine song or two. And what about you? This may be a good time to figure out how to stock the pantry while avoiding other humans. You could binge watch on the telly or take a needed walk. Or reach out to someone isolated who might like to hear your voice. Well, whatever you do, find a way to cope. And be safe. See you soon.
