Well, one silver lining of being "on pause" or quarantined is that Mike got the garage cleaned out and largely organized to his satisfaction. :) However, he is also happy that he can now go into stores again. (Previously when he had suggested it, I demanded to know what was so important that he was willing to kill us all, etc.)
He has taken advantage of his newfound freedom by going to the bike store and the liquor store. :) James had outgrown his old bike, and so now he has a new one -- although apparently there is a nationwide bike shortage (in part because more people got interested in riding bikes and in part because the supply chains got disrupted). So, we were lucky that they had a used bike at the store that was the right size.
Governor Cuomo has been doing daily news conferences since early in the pandemic, and Friday was his last one. Each day he would give the number of deaths and hospitalizations in the state, and I remember being relieved when the deaths dropped from the 700s (per day!) to the 600s, and now it is down in the 20s -- which is obviously still sad, but so much better than it was. I will kind of miss the briefings -- he was direct, reassuring, focused on the facts and science, and reminding everyone to work together and be New York Tough (which he specified also meant smart and loving). It was such good leadership, especially compared to the disasterous and divisive approach from the White House.
