November 11, 2020 This crazy ride on the COVIDcoaster feels never-ending. Just when things seem to be entering the final curve, out of nowhere comes another round of ups and downs: new capacity limits, redefined social distancing rules, ever-changing definitions of what constitutes close contact, what symptoms to watch for.

November 2, 2020 Hey! We made it to November! If you are doing any level of virtual school, August probably feels like at least a decade ago. Hopefully you are getting it dialed in. Still working on it in our house, but it is getting easier. In my new role as part time teacher, I […]
October 28, 2020 So… do you remember that one time I told you that you might want to procrastinate?

If the location doesn’t have a government created capacity (e.g. a personal residence) then the limit indoors is ten people (that are not of the […]
October 5, 2020 Today I am coming atcha with a recipe. Wait! Before you roll your eyes and close this tab, I promise I won’t give you the history of where I first learned about it and when I first made it and who was across the street on their front porch speculating about the […]
September 28, 2020 Dunno how you guys feel, but I feel like 2020 has been a lot like Groundhog Day. The movie. Without Bill Murray cracking jokes. Lest you think next week was going to be a little different, at least on the mask front, I am here to tell you (though I am sure […]
September 21, 2020 Early last month, a federal court in New York invalidated a handful of regulatory provisions interpreting the FFCRA (if you need a quick refresher, check out this blog I wrote in August). I have been keeping an eye on this so I could let you all know how, if at all, this […]
