Like everybody else, the pandemic is “top of mind” 24 x 7 for me. I’m writing to help myself not internalize all of it.

I’ve seen some comparisons to 9/11 online recently. For me, there is no contest. Coronavirus is far …

Like everybody else, the pandemic is “top of mind” 24 x 7 for me. I’m writing to help myself not internalize all of it.

Weekends don’t just hold the same appeal when you literally have nothing to do. The weekend did get off to a fun start at 2:30 …

Us on Saint Patricks Day 2020

I’m not doing a daily lock down update here because the days are already running together from the sameness. I think once per week, with updates as warranted in between is enough. Or maybe this will be the only update you’ll see. It’s not like you are paying anything for …

Solo

Imagine somebody binged on Mission Impossible and Jason Bourne movies for a weekend, then decided to write a book immediately after that weekend binge. They might write The Rescue Nurse. The pacing can best described as frenetic, as our hero Michael Grimm

Your cavalier attitude about Coronavirus is pissing me off

Coronavirus

In my travels around the Internet and Facebook (not the same thing!) I’ve seen a disturbing number of people whose attitude is that since Cornavirus most likely won’t make them very sick, it’s not a big deal. A smaller subset takes it a step farther and claims the whole thing …
