5:49 a.m. - The weather is cold; the sky is dark; the time is 5:49 a.m., and I'm getting myself ready to go umpire softball. If I didn't need the cash, I wouldn't do it. If I was sure that basketball season was going to happen, I wouldn't do it. In case you are wondering, there is no social distancing going on at the Bett Plex where I am umpiring. The pandemic is worsening, and President Trump is mocking the science that says our country is in for an awful winter. The same guy that said this would all go away last Easter. The same guy who sets the tone by rarely being seen wearing a mask. The same guy who contracted the virus, hosted an outside superspreader event at the White House, and not continues to have outside rallies of people...that guy is making fun of folks expressing worry about the pandemic. Good grief...I just would like to get through the day, snuggle up in a warm blanket on the couch, and then have a nice hot cup of apple cider.
8:36 p.m. - 6 games today with a cold northeast wind and temps in the 40's...virtually no social distancing. More people are going to get sick; more people are going to die. And if we get a really hard flu season along with this COVID 19...we are really going to overwhelm the healthcare system. Maybe I'm just too blessed...I am an empty nester with at job I can perform at home, and I'm healthy. Maybe if I wasn't in this category I would boast that I'm not going to live my life in fear and just not worry about COVID. I'm very tired, and I hope to get a good night's sleep tonight. This coming week is going to be a very, very long one.
