Today three states announced they are closing all public, and some states included private, schools for a minimum of two weeks. In the last 24-hours, the NBA, NHL, and NCAA games were canceled. Baseball has postponed its season opening. Private companies, and some government entities, are having employees telework. This is all well and good,… Continue reading Coronavirus Fallout

Hospitals Overwhelmed in 10-15 Days
On my way home from work today, I heard a radio interview. The person being interviewed, and sorry I don’t remember who it was, stated if we do not get a handle on the Coronavirus, our hospitals will be overwhelmed within 10-15 days. Listening and reading, many people still believe we are overreacting to this… Continue reading Hospitals Overwhelmed in 10-15 Days
Coronavirus! Prepared?
I’ll be honest. I don’t get a flu shot. The one time I did, I got the worst case of flu I’d ever had. My body seems to think if I get a shot, I should get sick. Shot for mumps, got the mumps. Shot for measles, got the measles. So I don’t tempt fate… Continue reading Coronavirus! Prepared?
Just Missed a Mardi Gras Parade in New Orleans
Today I head home from a meeting in New Orleans. It was great fun and I laughed a lot with friends I don’t see often. Also got to know some coworkers a little better. Always interesting how I can sit two seats away from someone at the office, but it takes leaving the office to… Continue reading Just Missed a Mardi Gras Parade in New Orleans
French Quarter Walkabout
I’m in New Orleans for a conference this week. After today’s session, I had a little bit of time to do one of my walkabouts (may do another if I can get motivated to get up early enough tomorrow morning). Here are the pictures that called to me. There is such history in this city.… Continue reading French Quarter Walkabout
San Francisco Walkabout-ish
Today was a pretty good day to be in San Francisco. The fog was out at the ocean, but the breeze wasn’t too bad. The pelicans (one of my favorite birds) were flying about. The temperature in the Castro was just right for me. The vibe that is San Francisco was out in full force.… Continue reading San Francisco Walkabout-ish
Last Day, Sad Day
The last day of any trip, especially when it involves saying goodbye, is a sad day. This afternoon, we all head back home to California, New Mexico and Indiana. It was fun watching the faces of some people when they asked where we were visiting from and we listed all of these different places. As… Continue reading Last Day, Sad Day
Somewhere Different
For today’s walkabout, I had decided last night to go somewhere totally new, and far from the hotel. It was a subway ride to the walkabout. Battery Park was my destination as I wanted a picture of Lady Liberty since the values she has espoused for so long have been under attack, really since 9/11,… Continue reading Somewhere Different
Always Look Up, and to the Side
Yesterday was a busy day of sightseeing. We made it to the new Hudson Yards shopping mall, touched Madison Square Gardens, climbed to the top of the Vessel, marveled at the engineering of The Shed, saw Macy’s, ate at Keen’s Steakhouse (opened in 1885 and still in the same location), and saw Come From Away… Continue reading Always Look Up, and to the Side
Hello New York!
I am in New York City with my husband and the Papas. It is our annual trip to the Big Apple for Broadway, good food, sightseeing, and of course, great conversation. As is tradition, I began my early morning walkabouts to see what I might photograph and reflect upon for the year. The main thing… Continue reading Hello New York!
