7. I don't think it is rare among us now, either. Take care of yourselves, you & Siwsan and all others on DU...

I have decided to reimmerse in music from years past and find that Pink Floyd's music is not only deeply apropos to what we are living through now, but very easy to fully immerse in the full album (e.g., Dark Side of the Moon or others) without a thought to anything else. Especially with headphones.

That and walking my aging "pup" are getting me through thus far.

Be kind to yourselves.
