So I agreed to come out of retirement to help a work friend by going to a job site for an agreed upon 5 weeks (beginning Feb. 10). No problem seeing as how the project was very close to our daughter’s home with two of our grandkids. Such a cool gig that my wife decided to join me to be able to do fun things with the kids (and go into Manhattan).
Fast forward 4 1/2 weeks.
Turns out that the project is located in New Rochelle, New York, and my last day on site was the day the governor of NY imposed a 1mile radius containment area due to the spreading coronavirus. The job was within the containment radius. I joked (tongue in cheek) that the company might as well have sent me to work at Chernobyl in the 80’s.
After driving home to NC my wife and I decided to cancel our upcoming trips and visits to other family members based on the probability that I may have been contacted by someone in NY with the virus and she in turn. To be extra cautious we agreed to self-quarantine ourselves the suggested two weeks in order to not pass along any bug.
So the big question is how long can we stay quarantined without driving each other nutso. To be determined; to be continued.

Good luck, Peg; I mean good luck Dan and Peg! We’ll see who breaks first–the Jackson’s or ya’ll. In the last few days, we began and finished the last season of Sneaky Pete and Mrs. Markel. We are only going out if absolutely necessary; for example, toilet paper, hand sanitizers…nevermind…Amazon delivers stuff like that! But, maybe wine!!! Nevermind, Firstleaf and Biltmore deliver that! Okay, we’ll go out to the doctor’s, nevermind, we can do a video conference, maybe. Once we eat up all of our food, we’ll keep Domino’s and drive-throughs busy! Ha Ha!! 🙂
