Pressing the pause button

April 2, 2020April 2, 2020 jadinmad

(Does anything actually have a pause button anymore?) I took another walk today (Monday), about a week after the last one.

Last Friday, my fellow student and friend Jeya and I had a night out on the town (essentially our last hurrah before she headed back to Oregon and I started social distancing), complete with a fantastic dinner and amazing music (see next post). As we left the restaurant after dinner, we were launched into calenda
