A summer without baseball is like Christmas without Santa Claus, and we all need a little “Ho-ho-ho!” right now

The coronavirus, COVID-19, pandemic, or whatever you want to call this horrific plague, has taken Memorial Day away from us.

This week we had to say an official “Goodbye” to the school building for the 2019-2020 school year.

One aspect of the shutdowns has been particularly difficult – the closing of all schools.

The coronavirus has impacted millions of people all over the world. With businesses, retail, and schools shut down, people are staying home to stay safe

What is happening in the world hangs over us, making that agony seem to overtake the ecstasy of being together.

I keep hearing and seeing the term “an abundance of caution” in relation to people’s behavior in dealing with the coronavirus, which is a world-wide pandemic.

Sometimes I’m stuck in traffic, look up, and see a gorgeous sunrise that I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise.

Just keep in mind that one day we will all be gone, and none of this online stuff will matter anymore.

It is the first day of 2020 and, in all honesty, there is not much we can say about this year right now, so there is a tendency to look back at 2019 and think about all that happened.
