Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

Our wings are not tired.
Serious stock tumble this morning. Had to freeze trading. Market has so much confidence in our "leaders".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If all of this has to happen, I only wish it were closer to the general election....

In other OUTBREAK news, we're now supposed to be bringing our computers home every night to be prepared to work from home. Nearly every case in Massachusetts can be linked to one meeting two weeks ago! This just all feels crazy.

Two concerts scheduled for the next week have been cancelled, and one doctor's appointment, for my residents.
In happier news, I'm scheduled to become a Great Aunt in August, which I suspect is a definite sign that I am Old.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This weekend my daughter is supposed to be competing in the Destination Imagination Eastern NY Regional Tournament. So far the organizers are planning to go ahead as scheduled, but have let us know that one of the potential backup plans in case they have to cancel is simply to advance ALL competitive teams to the NY State tournament on April 4.
Now, according to my uncle's med school friend who's team more or less discovered coronaviruses in the 1970s, early April is when we should expect to see COVID-19 all the fuck over the place, instead of just in isolated pockets.
So is it just me, or is this backup plan of "let's have 5x as many students as usual from even more places meet up ALL AT ONCE during the most pandemic-y week of the pandemic" really REALLY fucking stupid???

(And since DI is mostly elementary and middle school teams, it may as well be the Doorknob Licking Conference, because as we all know children are disgusting little germ factories.)
