Donno about you but we’re working hard to keep things interesting while we’re in lock down . We end up finding spontaneous themes for things like dinner . Tonight it was ninjas .. Kyle and I both wore our bathrobes to homemade pizza dinner . Diane and hunter chose to come as civilians.
Late afternoon Diane and I snuck out for a hike up the lower quad at bolton. The snow is getting patchy .. but still a great climb. Satori came with us while Chai hung out at home
So glad to have that space around us during these house bound days
Speaking of housebound here’s a nice shadow of our house
I had a two-part day. I woke up feeling grouchy… Several things at work weren’t going quite as smoothly as they should. I was behind on several others… I worked so long that Diane and I missed the chance to take a hike… We took a run instead. On the run I realized that I was letting my concerns for the world situation creep in and affect my day-to-day Concerns… As in “it’s easier to worry about small things that it is to worry about big things”
Armed with that realization I launched into the afternoon in a much better mood… At 9 o’clock tonight Diane let a yoga class for all of our family. Max and Becky in Santa Fe gave in his household and us. It was really cool and fun

Pretty funny… I realize I saw this cartoon in our town paper this morning
This was the comic Of the day from the New Yorker. Pretty funny!
These days are going by in a blur. For some reason both my day job and my outreach job (which is supposed to be windy 5%) are both hitting overdrive right now. Most of my days start at eight and ends at eight… With only a few breaks in between. I don’t know how I got to be this busy when everything is supposed to be shut down
The good thing is that some of my day job work is related to the covid stuff so I’m feeling at least a more productive
Diane and I did get out for a nice run today.… It was cool seeing the snow that was still around… though the ground is already fully into mud season
The governor of our state just declared a lockdown for the entire state.… From what I understand all businesses are to close… And people are to stay inside unless they have a legitimate reason to be out. Luckily getting exercise is a legitimate reason… That means we can still head into the hills.
Gov. Phil Scott ordered Vermonters Tuesday to stay “stay home” and “stay safe” to slow the outbreak of the coronavirus in Vermont.
“The Governor’s order directs Vermonters to stay at home, leaving only for essential reasons, critical to health and safety,” said a statement from the governor’s officeTuesday afternoon.
“EffectiveMarch 25, 2020 at 5:00 p.m., all businesses and not-for-profit entities not expressly exempted in the order must suspend all in-person business operations,” it continues.
Scott forewarned his executive order Monday: “I would not describe it as a shelter in place, that terminology means something different to many people especially in the emergency world,” he said at a press conference.
