Spring has arrived here in the Northern Hemisphere as of today. I do like the simplicity of the "meteorological" seasons, but there's something more official about the actual equinoxes and solstices, the days that mark four precise points along the orbit of this tilt-a-whirl globe of ours.
At my daytime place of work, we began our COVID-19 quarantine protocol on Tuesday, which means the only entry in this week's commute list will be the disc I listened to on Monday. For the next couple of weeks, I will be doing the self-isolation thing at home, so the list of my commute music will also be on hiatus. We're scheduled to return to the office on April 6th, barring further steps being taken (by the state, for example) to extend the quarantine.
I encourage you all to distance yourselves from as much real-life contact outside your home as possible. I'm impressed at all the creative efforts folks are making to stay in touch, whether through social media or all the other modern-day methods we've got. These are strange days, but we are a delightfully resilient species.
And it's fun to joke about what songs to scrub to, but really: wash your hands thoroughly and often. Don't give those tiny viral bastards a surface to cling to. Be smart, be well, be of good cheer. We'll get through this together.
This Week's Commute:
