Happy Mask-Giving!

We are listening to the medical professionals and experts. We are not traveling this Thanksgiving. We are not getting together with family or friends. It's going to be a very different kind of holiday for us. It's all about what we will NOT do. 

Just the two of us, with our 4 little birdies. Staying home. Cooking for ourselves. Hunkering in. Probably watch some classic movies on DVD. Stream some shows. Read books. Listen to music. Probably play some music too.

All the news on the Covid-19 front is bad, scary, intimidating. Covid is surging in the heartland. Looks like our healthcare system is getting swamped. A very dangerous situation. You can tell that the public health officials are frantic, frazzled, worried that folks are not going to take their advice to stay home, wear masks, social-distance, refrain from gathering together.

We wonder did anyone else get the memo? This Covid thing is nasty, deadly, super-contagious. You do not want to get it. We have been reading stories about people still partying, having weddings, get-togethers, sort of boggles the mind. What are they thinking?

Human beings are such social creatures. Not congregating goes against our natures. This is a test. Can people do the right thing? Can human beings refrain, show a bit of discipline, be smart, safe, can they make the choice to just not do what they normally do?!

We shall see. Hope folks are gonna be smart. This is a holiday where isolating ourselves is the prudent thing to do. Happy Mask-Giving!
