I don’t know about you, but I’m getting more than a little overwhelmed by the constant barrage of CoronaVirus related news. I’m feeling anxious and isolated and sort of cast adrift as I struggle to figure out how to do my job from home.

Minding my Ps and Qs
(As in where my mind goes during a Pandemic and Quarantine) How will we collectively and individually remember these days? What will this experience etch upon each of us?
