Working With Fire and Steel

United States: 492,000 confirmed cases, 18,500 deaths, 32,000 recoveries. Kentucky: 1,450 cases, 79 deaths, 339 recoveries. New York City is getting absolutely hammered - one-sixth of the nation's known cases are in the city.

Thanks to CBS offering a free month of All Access, I am burning through Star Trek: Discovery. I'm digging on it. I'm in the latter half of the first season, the Mirror Universe arc, and boy, this Terran Empire is just cartoonishly villainous. Got a few more weeks to finish this and watch the first season of ST: Picard.

I think that today saw the first face-to-face conversation I've had with anyone besides co-workers and clerks in about a month. My playtest group cashed in, so to speak, some of our accumulated credit, and I went over to our team lead's home to pick up my loot. All done properly - the box was at the end of their walkway, and we stayed about ten, twelve feet apart during our chat. It was good to see some friends in this increasingly empty world.

It's a quiet, cool, cloudy Easter Sunday. Peace to you today.
