April 19 Run: 4th COVID edition (sigh) - go where you will, come back around 8

Another week in paradise - not!  But mainly because it's SO cold.  Here's the link to zoom in on Sunday morning:

Join East End Runners  for virtual coffee after your actual solo run!
Meeting ID: 819 900 089
You can still be in bed!  Anything goes now.  

Reporting on last week's zoom:
  • There are more deer than dogs now in Frick Park, and on Shady Avenue.  In fact, wildlife seems to be taking over.  It feels a little like the scenes in Disney's Snow White.
  • Does anyone remember Kaiser rolls?  They have something resembling them and many other crusty miracles at Breadworks, which is still open with curbside delivery.
  • Laurie - where are you?  We miss you!
  • Zoom meetings are getting a little tiresome, except for this one, of course. Though it is kind of fun to see weird backdrops that people use, or their messy bedrooms.  And, you can use the chat feature for snarky comments. Did you know it all gets recorded? And nobody will ever forget the original harried BBC reporter crashed in on by his tiny child.
  • Press briefings - Governor Cuomo, comforting, and the president, viscerally unbearable.
  • We thought that water use would be up due to monster hand-washing, but PWSA expert Beth says it is actually down. Fewer showers?
  • If it weren't for our homebound status, would we have this thrilling zoom Hamilton performance to watch 17 times?
Hope to see you on Sunday!
