7:31 a.m. - Alabama is pretty dang good.  I didn't even stay up to watch the whole game.  Amber and I did enjoy a quiet evening.  Today the sun is going to be out all day, which will be refreshing and energizing.  Tonight I have one game at DeWitt, so I get to be on a basketball court, which is good.

Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (1/12)

Beginning Friday, some Illinois regions will be easing restrictions just a little.  The numbers are going down, and the Governor indicated that the decision is based on the numbers.  I know many folks are critical of the Governor's decisions, but at least there was a plan based on data, and he has followed that plan.  I don't know if this new development will get sports and extra-curriculars back to the schools, but starting to ease restrictions gets us closer.  I have a feeling the IHSA will soon come out with a decision to cancel the basketball seasons and still try to get in what would have been the fall seasons this Spring.
