I’ve been thinking a bit about families lately, as I’m sure we all have. I mean, here we are, the big human family on another epic and terrifying adventure into the unknown. Here we are, individual families, dealing with all the epic stuff that family brings in a particularly up close and personal fashion at this point. And, there’s the family of the nation, struggling to find a way without a mom or dad at the helm. I guess our new dad is the NBA? And all the other private businesses and organizations that have taken the lead, and all the state and local officials who are stepping up and doing the hard, scary, and thankless work of making decisions and alocating resources in profoundly bizzare times. And, of course, the family of health care workers, of whom I used to be a member. No words to describe how my heart is with you lately.
And, because laughter is good medicine and I simply don’t seem to tire of this;

No matter the theme, it’s always appropriate to play a Stevie Wonder song. Double points if it has a chromatic harmonica solo.
