Spring Break 2020 has been very unusual. Most of the week was spent sitting in the Geriatric Ward while watching updates about the COVID-19 crisis unfold before our eyes. Schools are closed for the rest of the semester. Bars, movie theaters, and businesses are closed all over the country. Restaurants are permitted to offer pick-up and delivery only. Americans are encouraged to shelter in place while practicing “social distancing” in an effort to stall the spread of Coronavirus. There are currently 22,000 reported cases of COVID-19 in the United States. Things have certainly been strange this week and there is no clear end in sight. The world wonders if things will ever truly return to normal.
Needless to say, I have been a little distracted this week. Early in the week, I managed to do a little reading of Potok’s In the Beginning but quickly became distracted. Other than that, I managed to do a little listening to Julie Andrew’s memoir Home on Audible. I anticipate completing much of the memoir while driving back to Plainview this weekend.
My hope is that I will be able to get back to a regular reading routine in the days ahead as I also make the transition to online teaching since WBU announced on Thursday that we will transition all face-to-face classes to online only instruction for the remainder of the Fall term.
