You Know Things are Getting Bad When . . .

You have to remove all your injury ice packs from your freezer to make room for food.

Your choices for television you haven’t seen yet are down to The Masked Singer and reruns of videos from your lobby showing the mail person delivering the mail.

The guy in line in front of you at the store pulls out a measuring tape, gives you a dirty look, and makes a chalk line on the floor six feet behind him.

You don’t bother to pick the lima beans out of the vegetable medley you bought because they were out of real food.

You’re training your dog to go to the store for you.

You’re making a collage out of all the CEO messages you’ve received regarding company responses to COVID-19.

You live in a multiunit building and are considering saying hello to your neighbors.

BUT, DON’T PANIC YET – here’s some good news from a couple subscribers.

The 92nd Street Y in New York will live stream Garrick Ohlsson’s piano performance tonight at 7:00 Central time. 

The Berlin Philharmoniker Digital Concert Hall is offering a free month of high quality audio and video—including different angles and closeups of the solos. (And the instructions are in English.)

Finally, thanks to all of you from whom I’ve heard about my recent post-apocalyptic posts. If my brain doesn’t give in to cabin fever, I’ll try, with your help, to keep them coming.
