Things are getting worse with COVID-19. not better. I visit the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge, play some Gloomhaven and, as usual, see a few films
The world is a bit of a mess and the U.S. even moreso. Figurative and literal storms. One thing that's consistent is that I have movies and board games to keep me occupied.
More seclusion as COVID-19's kept us mostly to ourselves. Things are opening up but a lot of us are a bit cautious still watching the numbers to see if it really is okay to venture out again. Meanwhile, my employer is targeting to get most workers back off of furlough by the end of June.
