Yeah, right.
So, for those of you who don't know, my primary job is covering sports - high school and college, mainly. Right now, there's nothing happening. People keep asking me what I'm going to do with my time. Well, I have plenty of things to do.
I have several TV series I haven't watched yet, so I could spend time doing that. I have a whole bunch of books on my shelves I haven't read yet, so I could do that. I've got cross-stitch projects that I could do. I've got letters I could write, emails I could compose, the church Christmas program to write. I could always clean my apartment.
At work, we're trying to keep up with the daily coronavirus developments or corona chaos, as I'm calling it. Because we're weekly papers, trying to provide the most up-to-date, accurate information we can is more of a challenge. I'm hoping we're not all coronavirus all the time - that would get old very quickly.
As I've thought about how the social/sports/school landscape looks now, my heart hurts for the seniors. These kids (both high school and college) are watching their senior year trickle away. So many of the senior year events have been postponed or cancelled. Local musicals are postponed. Classes are individual - no interaction with your classmates and friends. Spring sports have been pushed back and may not even happen. Actually, at the college level, they aren't happening. The NCAA and NAIA have cancelled the spring seasons - no track, no baseball, no softball, no golf.
I can only imagine how disappointed those athletes are. I know how I felt when I didn't get to play in the final game of my high school basketball "career." I wasn't a great player, but I thought the coach would let all of the seniors play at least a few seconds. Nope. But to not even have the season ...
Anyway, I'll try to be a little more consistent posting. I'll let you know how I'm spending my "free" time. Stay safe and healthy, everyone.
