A pretty darned good day

Norlin Library, University of Colorado

 This day of living within COVID-19 rules turned out to be pretty A-OK.  I started the day at a leisurely pace, finishing yesterday's paper over a hot cup of coffee. Next up - I actually got to talk to my brother on the phone (a rarity since he is hard of hearing).  Switching from leisurely to energized, I "Zoomed" in to an exercise class hosted by our favorite exercise teacher. That got me good and warmed up so I then leashed up Taz and headed off (in shorts!) for an exploratory run of the CU campus - an extraordinarily quiet campus on this April 6th which should have been the exciting brim-full-of-people first day of the Conference on World Affairs. Instead of running into a mass of humanity, Taz and I crossed paths with maybe 20 people during our half-hour or so of touring campus. I've always considered Christmas week to be the quiet time on campus - that's not even close to what it's like these days.

Then! Bonus time! This afternoon, Kendall casually mentioned he had pumped up the basketball. WEEEEHAWWWWW!!!!! Sure cure for any creeping doldrums. Out to the driveway I ran, soon joined by Mister Kendall. Shootin' hoops. No better way to spend a sunny afternoon during a "stay at home" order!
