A week after most technology companies in the Bay Area mandated work from home (WFH) protocols, my (non-tech company) employer followed suit. I am happy to not be commuting via public transit for the forseeable future and look forward to marking off 14 days on the calendar now that the largest exposure factor I had to COVID-19 is not a weekday routine. Plans for the extra two hours/day that were usually spent in commute include solo bike rides and learning how to read music for the piano (as I continue learning to play the banjo). Maybe indoor cycling… idk – I might re-up that Zwift account.
Also organizing/decluttering the house–since it will be our sole lived environment for a while–seems like a good plan.

Ok. enough COVID, already…
I saw The Fall, directed by Tarsem Singh, last week. It was everything it had been hyped to be, and probably more. Of all the reviews I’d seen, I suspect I like Roger Ebert’s the best when he calls it: “…a movie that you might want to see for no other reason than because it exists. There will never be another like it.”
What else… ? This used to be interesting… prior to my focus on virus-related and social distancing concerns, I was enjoying the thoughtful and entertaining work from Danya Tortorici on Instagram. (but not on Instagram) She’s a talented writer and I look forward to reading her prose more.
There is apparently still a debate tonight – I hope this will be the last one. I’m not sure why Bernie* is still pretending to be in tbe hunt for the Democratic nomination. Unlike the other major party during the previous cycle, in 2020 at least, the {Democratic} Party decided.
