My life outside books:
Between Coronavirus, the primary elections, and the president's stupid and mean public comments, I feel I've had enough of the news these days.

I drove down to LA airport last night and picked up my daughter for her spring break; it's so great to see her. We did wonder if she'll be going back to her college in New York in two weeks... do we think they'll join the growing number of colleges doing online learning for a while?
The big news in our house is that we got rid of cable yesterday! Finally. We will now get our entertainment from Netflix, Prime Video, AcornTV, and YouTubeTV. It feels good and my pocketbook is also going to be happy.
