Good like Christine and everyone. It's important for your mental health to get outside as much as you can within the limits of your local rules. Over here we can go out for one exercise session, walk, run or cycle, per day, plus shopping. People where i am seem to be fairly reasonable about

We're pretty much locked down here, though I don't think we're required to be. Yet. But with Dr. Lisa in the house we're on a pretty short leash :-) Though Lisa and I are edging ever closer to the high-risk age group, her 92-year-old mother who lives with us is decidedly there, so we have to watch

This enforced isolation is likely the best way to slow down the spread of the plague, as much as it's a true PITA. I've only barely started doing anything with my new camera other than testing and learning it since it got here… :( I think this little piece may well become a classic of the AC

Yes, we all have to work together to beat this plague. Aside from going to the grocery store for supplies twice, and stopping to get a take-out lunch today at a nearby restaurant on my walk, and riding my bicycle on "isolation exercise" rides, I've barely left the condo for eight days. I
