In case anyone is curious....

.... I am well and staying at home, living as hermetically as possible, as is my partner, George Zebrowski. As it was a pleasant spring day yesterday, I took a short walk then, the first for some time, of a couple of blocks to my bank and then to the grocery store for a bunch of bananas, but made sure to keep the requisite six feet away from my pals, the bank manager and produce guy, putting up my hands palms out to show them I had my protective gloves on while they nodded at me and feeling as though we were all simulacra, or zombies, going through our usual greetings. Don't plan to go out for a while now and don't really have to---there's nowhere to go anyway with just about everything shut down--unless the weather is good enough to take a walk around the neighborhood while keeping well away from anybody else who's out. To everyone out there, stay safe and healthy.
