Read A Book

I have my own thoughts on this COVID-19 situation, but I’ll keep most of them to myself.  Suffice to note that most folks are scared and doing all they can to stay home until the crisis passes.

That said, this is a wonderful opportunity to read a book!  Yes, we could all just sit on our asses and watch TV, but that gets a bit stale after a while.  Movies are great, but watching the same ones over and over and over in a week grates on some people.  And it isn’t until there are no new sporting events that you realize just how much of your time is spent on watching sports.  I’d say that the news changes, but it seems like it’s nothing but endless repeats about the virus and how Congress can’t get anything done because each side wants to bicker pettily about how the other side is a veritable mountain of evil.

So go find a good book or five.  Re-read a classic you’ve always enjoyed, or go to Amazon and download a few you were curious about but thought you never had time to read.  Well, now you have time.  Rediscover a love of stories, if for no other reason than an escape from the hand of shit we’ve been dealt the past month.
